(C#) Caching cookies in-memory.

Caching cookies in-memory. To automatically save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the CookieDir property equal to the keyword "memory". Also, set the SaveCookies property = true. If the SendCookies property = true, then any cached cookies are automatically re-sent with subsequent GETs and POSTs.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

bool success;

//  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  To save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the
//  CookieDir equal to "memory".  Also,
//  set the SaveCookies property:
http.CookieDir = "memory";
http.SaveCookies = true;

//  To cause cached cookies to be sent with
//  subsequent HTTP requests, set the SendCookies
// property = true.
http.SendCookies = true;

//  Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save
//  cookies to the CookieDir (which in this case is an
//  in-memory cache.
string html;
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/");

//  To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:
string xmlStr;
xmlStr = http.GetCookieXml("paypal.com");

textBox1.Text += xmlStr + "\r\n";

//  It's content will look something like this:

//  

<cookies>
    <cookie key=".paypal.com,/" v="0" secure="yes">
        <navcmd>_home-general</navcmd>
        <HttpOnly />
        <cwrClyrK4LoCV1fydGbAxiNL6iG>9cz...</cwrClyrK4LoCV1fydGbAxiNL6iG>
    </cookie>
</cookies>



//  If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
//  be added:
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/");

//  Check the LastHeader property to see the MIME header
//  of the last HTTP request sent.
//  The "Cookie" header field should be present.
textBox1.Text += "--- LastHeader ---" + "\r\n";
textBox1.Text += http.LastHeader + "\r\n";
