Adding Cookies to an HTTP Request

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to add one or more cookies to an HTTP request. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();

    // The Cookie header field has this format:
    // Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

    // Build an HTTP POST request:
    const req = try chilkat.HttpRequest.init();
    defer req.deinit();
    req.setFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp");
    req.setHttpVerb("POST");

    req.addParam("param1", "value1");
    req.addParam("param2", "value2");

    // To add cookies to any HTTP request sent by a Chilkat HTTP method
    // that uses an HTTP request object, add the cookies to the
    // request object by calling AddHeader.

    // Add two cookies:
    req.addHeader("Cookie", "user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"");

    // Send the HTTP POST.
    // (The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.)

    const domain = "www.chilkatsoft.com";
    const port = 80;
    const ssl = false;
    const resp = try chilkat.HttpResponse.init();
    defer resp.deinit();
    http.httpSReq(domain, port, ssl, req, resp) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Display the HTML body of the response.
    if (resp.getStatusCode() == 200) {
        // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
        // our cookies...
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastHeader(alloc)});
    } else {
        std.debug.print("HTTP Response Status = {d}\n", .{resp.getStatusCode()});
    }

    std.debug.print("---------------------\n", .{});

    // Some Chilkat HTTP methods do not use an HTTP request object.
    // For these methods, such as for QuickGetStr, cookies (or any HTTP request header)
    // are added by calling SetRequestHeader.
    http.setRequestHeader("Cookie", "user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"");

    _ = http.quickGetStr(alloc, "http://www.w3.org/") catch "";
