Hi I’m trying to test whether a site returns a cookie or not. I’m very new to Java.

I Have opened the connection using :

conn = "https://mysite.com/".toURL().openConnection()

Having opened the connection, how to test whether the site mysite returns the cookie or not?

Thanks in advance.

    To start with, I’d suggest using a higher level API than URLConnection. There are various HTTP libraries around. Some of them would even work out all the cookies for you – but even if they don’t… you just need to check for the Set-Cookie header in the response. (If you do want to stick with URLConnection, that gives you the headers too… I’m just generally wary of it being a pain compared with other HTTP libraries.)

    Set-Cookie is used by the server to send cookies to the client; the Cookie header is used by the client to send cookies back to the server. See RFC 2965 and RFC 6265 for more information.
