I’m in the middle of making a small scraping utility which is designed
to run as quickly as possible using multiple http connections to the server.
How does one handle cookies in this situation..
For example if the first connection scrapes the page for links, and the server
sets the cookie to something,, wouldn’t firing off additional connections
cause the cookies to be out of sync ?
The answer is it really depends on the server.
If the server changes the cookie with each and every request
yes it will throw off the cookie. What exactly this does again
depend on the server.
If say the cookie is just set once at login, then it wouldn’t really matter.
