.NET Framework 3.0
Provides a set of properties and methods that are used to manage cookies. This class cannot be inherited.
Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
The Cookie class is used by a client application to retrieve information about cookies that are received with HTTP responses. The following cookie formats are supported during parsing of the HTTP response headers: Netscape, RFC 2109, and RFC 2965.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of Cookie, see the various Cookie constructors.
The following example sends a request to a URL and displays the cookies returned in the response.
using System.Net; using System; namespace Examples.System.Net.Cookies { // This example is run at the command line. // Specify one argument: the name of the host to // send the request to. // If the request is sucessful, the example displays the contents of the cookies // returned by the host. public class CookieExample { public static void Main(string[] args) { if (args == null || args.Length != 1) { Console.WriteLine("Specify the URL to receive the request."); Environment.Exit(1); } HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(args[0]); request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer(); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse(); // Print the properties of each cookie. foreach (Cookie cook in response.Cookies) { Console.WriteLine("Cookie:"); Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", cook.Name, cook.Value); Console.WriteLine("Domain: {0}", cook.Domain); Console.WriteLine("Path: {0}", cook.Path); Console.WriteLine("Port: {0}", cook.Port); Console.WriteLine("Secure: {0}", cook.Secure); Console.WriteLine("When issued: {0}", cook.TimeStamp); Console.WriteLine("Expires: {0} (expired? {1})", cook.Expires, cook.Expired); Console.WriteLine("Don't save: {0}", cook.Discard); Console.WriteLine("Comment: {0}", cook.Comment); Console.WriteLine("Uri for comments: {0}", cook.CommentUri); Console.WriteLine("Version: RFC {0}" , cook.Version == 1 ? "2109" : "2965"); // Show the string representation of the cookie. Console.WriteLine ("String: {0}", cook.ToString()); } } } } // Output from this example will be vary depending on the host name specified, // but will be similar to the following. /* Cookie: CustomerID = 13xyz Domain: .contoso.com Path: / Port: Secure: False When issued: 1/14/2003 3:20:57 PM Expires: 1/17/2013 11:14:07 AM (expired? False) Don't save: False Comment: Uri for comments: Version: RFC 2965 String: CustomerID = 13xyz */
