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. Xojo Plugin

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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// 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.
Dim html As String
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

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

System.DebugLog(xmlStr)

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

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

//     </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.
