Question

There is source code to extract cookie string from NSHTTPURLResponse:

static NSString *CookieFromResponse(NSHTTPURLResponse *response) {
    NSArray *cookies = [NSHTTPCookie cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields:response.allHeaderFields forURL:response.URL];

    NSMutableString *cookieStr = [NSMutableString string];
    for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in cookies) {
        if (cookieStr.length) {
            [cookieStr appendString:@"; "];
        }
        [cookieStr appendFormat:@"%@=%@", cookie.name, cookie.value];
    }
    return cookieStr.length ? cookieStr : nil;
}

And to set cookie string to NSMutableURLRequest:

NSString *cookieStr = CookieFromResponse(response);
[request addValue:cookieStr forHTTPHeaderField:@"Cookie"];
