<httpRequest variable>.ManageCookie (Function)

In french: <Variable httpRequête>.GèreCookie

Enables or disables the management of cookies in an HTTP request run by <httpRequest variable>.Send.

Syntax

Enabling/Disabling the management of cookies (HTTPSend) Hide the details

<HTTP request>.ManageCookie([<Domain>, ] <Activation>)

<HTTP request>: httpRequest variable

Name of httpRequest variable for which the management of cookies will be enabled or disabled.

<Domain>: Character string (with quotes)

Domain onto which the activation or the deactivation is applied.

<Activation>: Boolean

True to enable the management of cookies,
False to disable the management of cookies.
Even if the management of cookies is disabled, you still have the ability to pass cookies in the HTTP request by using the appropriate header in the httpRequest variable.

Remarks

The cookies are not kept between two runs of an executable. They must be saved and restored by programming:
- backup: <httpRequest variable>.GetCookie, Serialize and fSaveText
- restoration: functions <httpRequest variable>.ReplaceCookie, Deserialize and fLoadText.
HTTPGetResult ignores <httpRequest variable>.ManageCookie.
When cookies are active, cookies received in response to a call to the <httpRequest variable>.Send function are retained pending a subsequent call to the <httpRequest variable>.Send function on the same domain: the httpRequest variable is updated. This operating mode is similar to the one of the Internet browsers.
The use of cookies is required on some sites that use them to supply the identifiers. Then, these identifiers are transmitted to each request (a basket identifier when placing an order for example).
If a management is defined on a domain, this information has priority over the global option.
