Here is the part of HTTP header I received and need to read:
Set-cookie: JSESSIONID=java.sun.com-b93ae%253A4021100a%253A8f52f5678875885;

And here is source code I used to read from HTTP header:

Code:

_LIT8(KCookieField,"Set-Cookie");
TPtrC8 cookieFieldName((TUint8*)(&KCookieField)->Ptr(), (&KCookieField)->Size());

RStringF headerName = strP.OpenFStringL(cookieFieldName);
int error = hdr.GetField(headerName, 0, cookie);

where strP is StringPool and cookie is THTTPHdrVal object.
And, after reading a field, the value stored in cookie variable is: "Cookie".

Is there anobody who knows how to do this the right way?
Thanks in advance!

I posted a code for reading a cookie from http header but still can't write a cookie. I can write anything accept "Cookie". When I write some value for "Cookie" field, after submiting the data, the "Cookie" field is clear.
Please help me!

Code:

RHTTPResponse resp = aTrans.Response();
RStringPool strP = aTrans.Session().StringPool();
RHTTPHeaders hdr = resp.GetHeaderCollection();
THTTPHdrFieldIter it = hdr.Fields();

TBuf<KMaxHeaderNameLen> fieldName16;
TBuf<KMaxHeaderValueLen> fieldVal16;

RStringF fieldCokie = strP.StringF(HTTP::ESetCookie,RHTTPSession::GetTable());
THTTPHdrVal fieldVal;
THTTPHdrVal cookie;

if (hdr.GetField(fieldCokie,0,fieldVal) == KErrNone){

RStringF basic = strP.StringF(HTTP::ECookie,RHTTPSession::GetTable());
RStringF realm = strP.StringF(HTTP::ECookieValue,RHTTPSession::GetTable());

if ((fieldVal.StrF() == basic) &&
(!hdr.GetParam(fieldCokie, realm, cookie))){
RStringF realmValStr = strP.StringF(cookie.StrF());
cookieValue.Copy(realmValStr.DesC());
}
}

Hello kelem,

I solved that and it worked fine for Symbian 7. I didn't try that code on 3rd edition but I think it should work.

Here is the code I used:

Code:

void CNetwork::SetCookie(RHTTPHeaders aHeaders){
RStringF cookieField = iSess.StringPool().StringF(HTTP::ECookie,RHTTPSession::GetTable());

TBuf8<200> tempBuff;
tempBuff.Append(_L8("JSESSIONID="));

int sLen = strlen(status.sessionId);
tempBuff.Append((const TUint8*)status.sessionId, sLen);

aHeaders.SetRawFieldL(cookieField, (const TDesC8&)tempBuff, _L8(";"));
cookieField.Close();
}

Where "status.sessionId" is char* holding the value that I needed to set as cookie's value.

I hope this will help you.

Regards,
Sasa

thanks again

Hi kelem,

cookieValue was member variable in that class declared like this:

Code:

#define KMaxHeaderValueLen 128

...

TBuf8<KMaxHeaderValueLen> cookieValue;
