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

Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

' When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is turned on, the cookies received from the server
' are persited to the CookieDir, which could be a directory where cookie XML files are persisted,
' or the keyword "memory" to keep an in-memory store.

http.SaveCookies = 1
http.CookieDir = "memory"

' Do a few GET's 
Dim html As String
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.google.com/")
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.amazon.com/")

' Examine the cookies received from each domain.
Dim googleCookies As String
googleCookies = http.GetCookieXml("www.google.com")
Debug.Print googleCookies

' Sample output:
