Adding Cookies to a Client Request

[David Wood]

Hi,

Restlet rocks.  Thanks to Jerome and all the contributors for a job  
well done.

I have been having trouble figuring out how to add a cookie to a  
client request.  I am using Restlet to build client-side tests for a  
RESTful service.  The server sends a cookie, which I can get using:

String cookie = response.getCookieSettings().getValues("MyCookieName");

However, it is unclear to me how to send that cookie back to the  
server in subsequent requests.  I tried adding it to the client's  
context, like this:

try {
        // TODO: Try to add the cookie as a Cookie object.
        Cookie myCookie = new Cookie("MyCookieName", cookie);
        client.getContext().getParameters().add(myCookie);
        client.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
	System.err.println("Unexpected exception trying to restart the  
Restlet client.  Exiting!\n" + e);
        System.exit(1);
}

and, indeed, the cookie is added to the client's parameters.  It is  
just not sent to the server upon future HTTP connections.  Can anyone  
tell me whether Restlet supports sending of cookies from a Restlet  
client and how to do it?  Thanks in advance!

Dave
