Set Cookie for UIWebView requests

Question

I want to embed an UIWebView into my MonoTouch application for an area that is not yet implemented natively.

In order to authenticate with the website I

Answer 1

AFAIK every application has its own cookie storage so try to use this code before rendering the page in the UIWebView

        NSHttpCookie cookie = new NSHttpCookie()
        {
            Domain = "yourdomain.com",
            Name = "YourName",
            Value = "YourValue" //and any other info you need to set
        };
        NSHttpCookieStorage cookiejar = NSHttpCookieStorage.SharedStorage;
        cookiejar.SetCookie(cookie);

I'm not in a MAC right now so im not able to test it hope this helps

okay sorry, i wasn't able to test it before posting, anyways I won't get home until tonight so give this a spin

var objects = new object[] { "http://yoururl.com", "CookieName", "CookieValue", "/" };
var keys = new object[] { "NSHTTPCookieOriginURL", "NSHTTPCookieName", "NSHTTPCookieValue", "NSHTTPCookiePath" };
NSDictionary properties = (NSDictionary) NSDictionary.FromObjectsAndKeys(objects, keys);
NSHttpCookie cookie = NSHttpCookie.CookieFromProperties(properties);
NSHttpCookieStorage.SharedStorage.SetCookie(cookie);

As you stated above, in the case that doesn't work might be a bug on monotouch binding so you can bind it manually by doing this

var objects = new object[] { "http://yoururl.com", "CookieName", "CookieValue", "/" };
var keys = new object[] { "NSHTTPCookieOriginURL", "NSHTTPCookieName", "NSHTTPCookieValue", "NSHTTPCookiePath" };
NSDictionary properties = (NSDictionary) NSDictionary.FromObjectsAndKeys(objects, keys);
NSHttpCookie cookie = (NSHttpCookie) Runtime.GetNSObject(Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSend_IntPtr(new Class("NSHTTPCookie").Handle, new Selector("cookieWithProperties:").Handle, properties.Handle))
NSHttpCookieStorage.SharedStorage.SetCookie(cookie);

also don't forget to include using MonoTouch.ObjCRuntime; if manually binding it

if manually binding works please don't forget to post a bug report on https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/
