Question

I’m logging onto a website, trying to get the cookies running. From what I understand, assigning a IdCookieManager to an IdHTTP and setting AllowCookies:=true should be all that I need to do, right? I succesfully receive a cookie after logging in, but when I try to navigate further, the cookie is not being sent.

Here is the code I have:

procedure TForm1.Login;
var data: TStringList;
begin
  data:=TStringList.Create;

  try
    IdHTTP.Get('http://navratdoreality.cz/'); // Here I receive Set-Cookie

    data.Add('ACTION=check_adult');
    data.Add('check=18plus');

    Memo1.text:=IdHTTP.Post('http://navratdoreality.cz/',data); // Here the 
     // request contains the cookie and I get a succesfully-logged page in 
     // response, no more set-cookie
  except
    ShowMessage('err');
  end;

  data.Free;
end;

procedure TForm1.Navigate;
var ms:TMemoryStream;
begin
  ms:=TMemoryStream.Create;
  try
    IdHTTP.Get('http://www.navratdoreality.cz/?p=view&id='+Edit1.Text, ms); 
    // the request doesn't contain any cookies, even though the cookie from 
    // logging is saved in IdCookieManager

    ms.Position:=0;
    Memo1.Lines.LoadFromStream(ms, TEncoding.UTF8);
  except
    ShowMessage('err');
  end;

  ms.Free;
end;

I don’t know what might be the problem. My Indy is 10.5.8.0. If you are going to look at the site, beware, some of it is nsfw.

Thanks

Okay, this was a very stupid question. The problem was that the login part had http://navratdoreality.cz, whereas the next part had http://www.navratdoreality.cz. Both URLs displayed the same, but they were apparently different for the IdCookieManager, so that’s why the cookie wasn’t sent.
