Example showing how to add one or more cookies to an HTTP GET request.

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http()

Dim success As Boolean

'  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
If (success <> true) Then
    MsgBox(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  The Cookie header field has this format:
'  Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

'  Build an HTTP GET request:
Dim request As New Chilkat.HttpRequest()
request.SetFromUrl("http://www.example-code.com/")
request.UseGet()

'  Add two cookies:
request.AddHeader("Cookie","user=""mary""; city=""Chicago""")

'  Send the HTTP GET.  The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.
Dim response As Chilkat.HttpResponse
Dim domain As String
domain = "www.example-code.com"
Dim port As Long
port = 80
Dim ssl As Boolean
ssl = false
response = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,request)
If (response Is Nothing ) Then
    MsgBox(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Display the HTML body of the response.
If (response.StatusCode = 200) Then
    TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & response.BodyStr & vbCrLf
Else
    TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & "HTTP Response Status = " _
         & response.StatusCode & vbCrLf
End If
