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. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final http = CkHttp();

  // 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.
  var html = '';
  html = http.quickGetStr('https://www.paypal.com/');

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

  print(xmlStr);

  // 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.
  print('--- LastHeader ---');
  print(http.lastHeader);
