Cookie Class
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.
Imports System.Net Imports System ' This example is run at the command line. ' Specify one argument: the name of the host to ' receive the request. ' If the request is sucessful, the example displays the contents of the cookies ' returned by the host. Public Class CookieExample Public Shared Sub Main(args() As String) If args Is Nothing OrElse args.Length <> 1 Then Console.WriteLine("Specify the URL to receive the request.") Environment.Exit(1) End If Dim request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(args(0)), HttpWebRequest) request.CookieContainer = New CookieContainer() Dim response As HttpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) ' Print the properties of each cookie. Dim cook As Cookie For Each 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}", IIf(cook.Version = 1, "2109", "2965")) ' Show the string representation of the cookie. Console.WriteLine("String: {0}", cook.ToString()) Next cook End Sub 'Main End Class 'CookieExample ' 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 '
