Question

I want to call a web service that requires an authentication cookie.

I have the cookie name and value. but I don\'t know how to inject the cookie in the request.

Answer 1

Today, i solve the same problem using HttpUrlConnection with this:

        CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
        String cookieString = cookieManager.getCookie(SystemConstants.URL_COOKIE); 
        URL url = new URL(urlToServer);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoOutput(true);
        connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookieString);
        connection.connect();
        OutputStream out = connection.getOutputStream();
        out.write(data.getBytes());
        out.flush();
        out.close();
