Add cookie to default browser

paolo · by **paolo** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 8:01 pm

Hi!
I wrote a small application that connects to a web server and exchange data via http (post), from the server properly receive the cookie, but when I open the default browser and I connect to the web server cookie is not found!
I try:

httpclient.getCookieStore().addCookie(myCookie);

but does not work.

Thanks,
Paolo

Based on the code you posted, you are performing a GET, not a POST. Either way, does your log output show any cookies as being found? Something to note is that your DefaultHttpClient doesn't exist after the function exits. That means any assigned values will disappear. You would need to store the cookies in a member variable and assign those cookies when you try to use a different client. If you aren't getting any cookies, then obviously you can't assign them.
