Hello!

I’m having issues with setting a cookie via CURL(std.net.curl).  I’ve tried several time over the last week but can’t figure it out.  I feel like I've tried every suggestion I found searching the web.

Basically - I receive the value "set-cookie" from a GET request (got this), but have no idea how to feed this into next POST request.

Can someone point me in the right direction or provide a snippet of code that I could work from?

Thank you!

There's two ways, you can let curl handle it by setting a cookie jar file:

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_net_curl.html#setCookieJar

Make the HTTP object and set the jar on it before doing any requests. Then it will be done automatically on that object, saving to the file.

If you are manually reading the Set-Cookie header, you can also just use this method:

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_net_curl.html#setCookie

I"m still not able to set the cookie. Would it be possible to provide a few sample lines - to ensure I'm on the right path.  I appreciate any additional help!!

Thanks!  Benjamin

This should work:

auto cookiesFile = "cookies.txt";

auto http = HTTP();
http.handle.set(CurlOption.cookiefile, cookiesFile);
http.handle.set(CurlOption.cookiejar , cookiesFile);

get("www.example.com/login.php?username=benjamin&password=hunter2", http);
get("www.example.com/action.php?...", http);

Vladimir & Adam Thank you!  This was my last roadblock I needed to overcome to finish my prototype project for the company I work for.  After a successful presentation and demo - the company I work for is taking a serious look into the D language for future projects.

Thanks!  Ben.
