Sending Cookie info in HttpRequest

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.

You can use droidQuery to handle the request:

$.ajax(new AjaxOptions().url("http://www.example.com")
                        .type("POST")
                        .dataType("json")
                        .data("data to post")
                        .cookies($.map($.entry("key", "value"))));

droidQuery also has authentication built in using the standard HTTP authentication approach:

$.ajax(new AjaxOptions().url("http://www.example.com")
                        .type("POST")
                        .dataType("json")
                        .data("data to post")
                        .username("myusername")
                        .password("myPassword"));
