Putting a `Cookie` in a `CookieJar`

Question

I\'m using the new Python Requests library to make http requests. I obtain a cookie from the server as text. How do I turn that into a CookieJar with the cookie

Answer 1

I'm trying to do the same thing. This is what I have so far, and for some reason it isn't sending the cookies along in the header. It might get you far enough along to solve your problem though.

import requests
import cookielib
import logging

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def auth(auth_url, cookies):
    cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
    for x in cookies:
         if len(cookies[x]) > 0:
             ck = cookielib.Cookie(version=1, name=x, value=cookies[x], 
                    port=None, port_specified=False, domain='.example.com', 
                    domain_specified=True, 
                    domain_initial_dot=True, path='/', 
                    path_specified=True, secure=False, 
                    expires=None, discard=True, 
                    comment=None, comment_url=None, 
                    rest=None, rfc2109=True)
             log.info(ck)
             cj.set_cookie(ck)

    log.info("cookies = %s " % cj)
    response = requests.get(auth_url, cookies=cj)
    log.info("response %s \n" % response)
    log.info("response.headers %s \n" % response.headers)
    log.info("response.content %s \n" % response.content)
