Does Apache HttpClient support cookies coded in javascript in a site’s html or just those sent by the server through http?
edit:
If not, how would you go about finding the javascript cookies, using wireshark or another sniffer?
You don’t really give a lot of context, so it’s hard to tell what sort of solution is appropriate to your problem.
If I wanted to find the JavaScript cookies sent by a site I’d probably do it from within a browser. As I mentioned in my comments above, reading the cookies set by JavaScript on the client side (in the general case) requires executing the JavaScript. Doing this “correctly” requires then entire environment that’s visible to JavaScript, which is a pretty large fraction of a browser.
If a human operator is ok (eg: if this is for debugging), then you could use something like Firebug or Chrome’s Developer Tools to examine the cookies. If you need something more automated, one option might be to write a browser extension.
There are other options that involve more work and/or less precision, but without knowing more about the constraints of your problem it’s impossible to know which of those other options would be more appropriate.
