Android Question Insert a cookie using HTTPJob.GetRequest.SetHeader

[lentunti]

Hi all,

Is it possible to use HTTPJob.GetRequest.SetHeader to replicate a cookie like this one in CookieManager:-

CookieManager1.SetCookie("https://devtablet.nwhub.co.uk/api/jobs/fetchJobs", "NWTABLETGATEWAYSESSION=lg9f3d66b04k77dfusek9bmfl5")

I have to apply to to a HttpJob.download2 as opposed to a WebView.

Is this possible?

I have tried
HTTPJob.GetRequest.SetHeader("SET-COOKIE", "NWTABLETGATEWAYSESSION=lg9f3d66b04k77dfusek9bmfl5; path=https://devtablet.nwhub.co.uk/api/jobs/fetchJobs")
but it doesn't seem to work

Thanks for any help.

regards
Lee

Are you setting the header after you call Download?

See Erel's example here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/set-http-request-header-with-httputils2.39413/#content

You need to set "Cookie" not "Set-Cookie". Set-Cookie header is used by the server (in the response) to ask the browser to set the cookies.

This is now my code :-
getJobs.download2("https://devtablet.nwhub.co.uk/api/jobs/fetchJobs", Array As String ("action", JSONstring))
getJobs.GetRequest.SetHeader("Cookie", "NWTABLETGATEWAYSESSION=lg9f3d66b04k77dfusek9bmfl5; path=https://devtablet.nwhub.co.uk/api/jobs/fetchJobs")

Which now gives me an internal server error. Your you say that thus suggests that the cookie has worked but there is a problem on the server (Possible dumb question).

thanks for your help.

Note that cookies are managed automatically by HttpUtils2 (actually HttpClient). If the server has previously returned this cookie then you do not need to manually add it to the request.
