Local $bSuccess = False

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

$oHttp.SaveCookies = True
$oHttp.CookieDir = "c:/temp/cookie_cache"
; For this initial request, we are not sending cookies.
; We are starting a new (cookie) session and saving the cookies we receive.

; Do a request that establishes and saves cookies in files in the cookie directory.

; Examine the LastResponseHeader to see the cookies that were received:
ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastResponseHeader & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("----------------------------------" & @CRLF)

; We can see the following Set-Cookie response header fields:

; Set-Cookie: AEC=AVh_V2h-fsL2-****; expires=Mon, 23-Feb-2026 19:15:10 GMT; path=/; domain=.google.com; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=lax
; Set-Cookie: NID=525=XC_cL****Hn7-WONX; expires=Thu, 26-Feb-2026 19:15:10 GMT; path=/; domain=.google.com; HttpOnly

; The following file was created:  c:/temp/cookie_cache/google_com.xml

; Examine the cookies received in the above request.
ConsoleWrite($oHttp.GetCookieXml("google.com") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("----------------------------------" & @CRLF)

; Sample output.

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

; Let's say we want to continue with the session at some later time with a new HTTP object.
; One way to do it is to simply set the same cookie properties:
$oHttpB = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

$oHttpB.SaveCookies = True
$oHttpB.CookieDir = "c:/temp/cookie_cache"
$oHttpB.SendCookies = True

; The cookies from the cache are sent.
$sHtml = $oHttpB.QuickGetStr("https://google.com/")

; Examine the LastHeader to see the contents of the Cookie header field.
ConsoleWrite($oHttpB.LastHeader & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("----------------------------------" & @CRLF)

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Another way to do it is to explicitly load the cookies from XML
; and set the cookies for the particular domain.

$oHttpC = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

$oHttpC.SaveCookies = True
; Do not save cookies to files, just keep them in memory.
$oHttpC.CookieDir = "memory"
$oHttpC.SendCookies = True

$oSbCookiesXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$bSuccess = $oSbCookiesXml.LoadFile("c:/temp/cookie_cache/google_com.xml","utf-8")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSbCookiesXml.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$bSuccess = $oHttpC.SetCookieXml("google.com",$oSbCookiesXml.GetAsString())
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttpC.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$sHtml = $oHttpC.QuickGetStr("https://google.com/")

; Examine the LastHeader to see the contents of the Cookie header field.
ConsoleWrite($oHttpC.LastHeader & @CRLF)
