Accept All Cookies via HttpClient

Question

So this is currently how my app is set up:

1.) Login Activity. 2.) Once logged in, other activities may be fired up that use PHP scripts that require the cookies sen

Answer 1

Since the API of HttpClient seems to change very fast, here is some working example code for HttpClient 4.5.1 to allow all (malformed) cookies:

class EasyCookieSpec extends DefaultCookieSpec {
    @Override
    public void validate(Cookie arg0, CookieOrigin arg1) throws MalformedCookieException {
        //allow all cookies 
    }
}

class EasySpecProvider implements CookieSpecProvider {
    @Override
    public CookieSpec create(HttpContext context) {
        return new EasyCookieSpec();
    }
}

Registry r = RegistryBuilder.create()
            .register("easy", new EasySpecProvider())
            .build();

CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore();

RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.custom()
            .setCookieSpec("easy")
            .build();

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
            .setDefaultCookieStore(cookieStore)
            .setDefaultCookieSpecRegistry(r)
            .setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfig)
            .build();
