Caching cookies in-memory.

See more HTTP Examples

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. Java

    // Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save 
    // cookies to the CookieDir (which in this case is an 
    // in-memory cache.

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

    System.out.println(xmlStr);

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

    // <cookies>
    //     <cookie key=".paypal.com,/" v="0" secure="yes">
