When OpenSRS says "cookie" they don't mean the HTTP kind of cookies you are
probably thinking about. :)
Basically, you authenticate as a domain/user, and OpenSRS gives you an
authentication string (cookie) that you use when trying to perform other
actions on the domain. For example (using the PHP syntax) you authenticate:
$O = new OpenSRS(...);
$cmd = array(
'action' => 'set',
'object' => 'cookie',
'attributes' => array(
'reseller_ip' => '123.123.123.123',
'domain' => $domain
'reg_username' => $remote_user,
'reg_password' => $remote_pass
)
);
$r = $O->send_cmd($cmd);
$cookie = $r['attributes']['cookie'];
Then you do stuff, like get the WHOIS info:
$cmd = array(
'action' => 'get',
'object' => 'domain',
'cookie' => $cookie,
'attributes' => array(
'type' => 'all_info'
)
);
$r = $O->send_cmd($cmd);
print_r($r['attributes']);
etc. ...
Hope that helps.
