Question

I’m integrating with an sso system that requires setting a cookie during a POST operation. I don’t see any way to do this using an HttpResponseMessage. I could take a dependency on HttpResponseBase in my controller, but that seems very ghetto. Any other way to do this?

Answer 1

Per this discussion, this is now a bit easier:

public HttpResponseMessage Post(int id, [FromBody]string value) {
 var result = this.Request.CreateResponse();
 result.Headers.AddCookies(new[] { new CookieHeaderValue("name", "value") });
 return result;
}

They keep changing this type of stuff though… (further reading)
