Karl Wright created HTTPCLIENT-1267:
---------------------------------------
Summary: There seems to be no way to get HttpClient to include
cookies from a custom store
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1267
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1267
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpCookie
Affects Versions: 4.2.2
Reporter: Karl Wright
In the port of ManifoldCF from commons-httpclient to httpcomponents, we
discovered a problem or maybe a design flaw with how cookies are handled.
What we're trying to do is to follow a certain series of html pages, and record
the cookies after that is done, and use exactly those cookies for a subsequent
series of pages. So I have code that looks something like this:
{code}
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
...
CookieStore cs = new BasicCookieStore();
cs.addCookie(...); // for each saved cookie
httpClient.setCookieStore(cs);
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(...);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget);
Cookie[] cookiesToSave = httpClient.getCookieStore().getCookies();
[save the cookies aside]
{code}
What happens when I do this against a page that sets a cookie, is I get a
perfectly reasonable cookie, and save it. For the next page, the code to add
the cookie to the custom store then seems to work fine as well. But when I
watch what is transmitted for the request (via header logging) I see no Cookie
header being sent, and indeed the cookie seems to be lost.
Similar logic was done with HttpState in commons-httpclient, and worked
perfectly there against the same website.
I have not yet tried the HttpContext approach for implementing this - I may try
that while awaiting an answer to this ticket, but the above seems like it ought
to work, according to the documentation.
