Set cookies with NSURLSession

ios, nsurlsession, session-cookies

Solution

You can probably get away with just using the `sharedHTTPCookieStorage` for `NSHTTPCookieStorage`, and then use `setCookies:forURL:mainDocumentURL:` or the single `setCookie:` - the latter might be better for your needs.

If this doesn't work you might need to setup the `NSURLSessionConfiguration` and set the `NSHTTPCookieStorage`

The docs don't state it, but the `defaultSessionConfiguration` might use the shared store anyway.

NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
[[session dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)
{
    NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResp = (NSHTTPURLResponse*) response;

    NSArray *cookies = [NSHTTPCookie cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields:[response allHeaderFields] forURL:[response URL]];
    [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookies:cookies forURL:[response URL] mainDocumentURL:nil];

    NSLog(@"sttaus code %i", httpResp.statusCode);
    if (error) {
        [self.delegate signinWithError:error];
    }
    else {
        [self.delegate signinWithJson:data];
    }
}] resume];

Problem

Hi I am developing one Iphone application In which I want to set cookies after server response and use that for another request. My network request looks like. ``` NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession]; [[session dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) { NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResp = (NSHTTPURLResponse*) response; NSLog(@"sttaus code %i", httpResp.statusCode); if (error) { [self.delegate signinWithError:error]; } else { [self.delegate signinWithJson:data]; } }] resume]; ``` But I don't know how to set cookies. I know I have to use `NSHTTPCookieStorage` but I don't know how to set. And I also want to use that cookies for another request. Is there any one who knows about this? Need help. Thank you. See I tried in this way ``` NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession]; [[session dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) { if(error) { [self.delegate signinWithError:error]; } else { NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResp = (NSHTTPURLResponse*) response; [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookieAcceptPolicy:NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways]; NSHTTPCookie *cookie; NSMutableDictionary *cookieProperties = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; NSDictionary* headers = [(NSHTTPURLResponse *)response allHeaderFields]; for(NSString *key in [headers allKeys]) { NSLog(@"%@ ..PPPP ... %@",key ,[headers objectForKey:key]); [cookieProperties setObject:[headers objectForKey:key] forKey:key]; } [cookieProperties setObject:[[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:2629743] forKey:NSHTTPCookieExpires]; cookie = [NSHTTPCookie cookieWithProperties:cookieProperties]; [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookie:cookie]; [self.delegate signinWithJson:data]; } }] resume]; ``` I am interested in only one header field `Set-Cookie SSID=kgu62c0fops35n6qbf12anqlo7; path=/`
