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. Swift

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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // 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: String?
    html = http.quickGetStr(url: "https://www.paypal.com/")

    // To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:
    var xmlStr: String?
    xmlStr = http.getCookieXml(domain: "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(url: "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!)")
