See more HTTP Examples

This example demonstrates how to get the cookies that have been received from the HTTP server. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

# This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is enabled, cookies received from the 
# server are saved either to the directory specified by CookieDir (where they are stored as XML files) 
# or in memory if "memory" is specified.

http.put_SaveCookies(true)
http.put_CookieDir("memory")

# Do a few GET's 
html = http.quickGetStr("https://google.com/")
html = http.quickGetStr("https://stripe.com/")

# Examine the cookies received from each domain.
xmlStr = http.getCookieXml("google.com")
print xmlStr + "\n";

# Sample output:

# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
# <cookies>
#     <cookie key=".google.com,/,AEC" v="0" expire="Tue, 17-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT" secure="yes">
#         <AEC>AVh_......</AEC>
#     </cookie>
#     <cookie key=".google.com,/,NID" v="0" expire="Fri, 20-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT">
#         <NID>525=A57i.......</NID>
#     </cookie>
# </cookies>

xmlStr = http.getCookieXml("stripe.com")
print xmlStr + "\n";

# Sample output:

# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
# <cookies>
#     <cookie key="stripe.com,/,cid" v="0" maxAge="7776000" secure="yes">
#         <cid>eba2891e-89e4-4aec-b9cf-e799d5b4b230</cid>
#     </cookie>
