Question

I saw all the post on cookies …still cannot make it work…may be i m missing some concepts..Gone through apple docs and stack qns…
I want to load a url..”http://example1.com/path1″ in webview in post method where i have to post a cookie .
A cookie which pass a value with name “token” avd value “abcde1234”

firstof all set up application to accept cookies

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application{

    [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage]setCookieAcceptPolicy:NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways];
}

so i created a cookie….

 NSMutableDictionary *cookieProperties = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"token" forKey:NSHTTPCookieName];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"abcde1234" forKey:NSHTTPCookieValue];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"http://example1.com" forKey:NSHTTPCookieDomain];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"http://example1.com/path1" forKey:NSHTTPCookieOriginURL];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"/" forKey:NSHTTPCookiePath];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"0" forKey:NSHTTPCookieVersion];
[cookieProperties setObject:@"0" forKey:NSHTTPCookieSecure];

Log the value with

NSHTTPCookie *cookie1;
NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieJar = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
for (cookie1 in [cookieJar cookies]) {
    NSLog(@"%@", cookie1);
}

and i can see the cookie there fine…
and i am loading the url in the webview “http://example1.com/path1” as

 NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://example1.com/path1"];   
NSMutableURLRequest *requestObj = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[requestObj setHTTPMethod:@"Post"];
[requestObj setHTTPShouldHandleCookies:YES];


//Load the request in the UIWebView.
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];

…but the web shows exeption of missing parameter….that is the cookie that i should enter..
My question is how to set up and make all this working??that is how to setup the cookie for an url,and load in post method in webview??

Answer 1

I got the problem solved myself…
The post comment is being called here but miss the statement
of setting up the post request body..

 NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"param=%@&param1=%@", val1,val2];
[requestObj setHTTPBody: [string dataUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

Cookie was setup correctly..

Not removing the question because it can be used as ref 🙂
