Here is my ideal situation. I log into http://www.philstockworld.com using chrome. Once logged in I start up my java application that uses the cookies just stored by chrome. Then my java application goes to work. So here is my question.
Here is what my program can do now, I can login to the website using whatever browser I want, then look up the value of the PHPSESSID cookie and start up my app using that value. Then my app can do what it needs to. I can also supply my app with my username and password and have it log in, then store the returned PHPSESSID cookie and do what it needs to. However, what I would like to have happen is I login to the website using a browser, then my app starts and uses the PHPSESSID cookie from my browser session, without me having to look it up and copy it.
Is there a way for my java application to get the value of that cookie, without me having to manually type it in?
The location of the Cookies file is:
On Linux:
For other OS’s see the user data page on chromium.org.
However, the file is stored in a binary format, so it’s going to be hard for you to load the data within.
