Get cookies from httpwebrequest

Question

I\'m trying to get all cookies from a website using this code

        CookieContainer cookieJar = new CookieContainer();

        var request = (HttpWebReque         


        

Answer 1

The following example uses the HttpCookie class and its properties to read a cookie with a specific name.

HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("MyTestCookie");
myCookie = Request.Cookies["MyTestCookie"];

// Read the cookie information and display it.
if (myCookie != null)
   Response.Write("<p>"+ myCookie.Name + "<p>"+ myCookie.Value);
else
   Response.Write("not found");

Retrieve the values in the HttpWebResponse.Cookies property of HttpWebResponse. In this example, the cookies are retrieved and saved to isolated storage:

private void ReadCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
{
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
    HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)
        request.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
    using (IsolatedStorageFile isf =
        IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForSite())
    {
        using (IsolatedStorageFileStream isfs = isf.OpenFile("CookieExCookies",
            FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write))
        {
            using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(isfs))
            {
                foreach (Cookie cookieValue in response.Cookies)
                {
                    sw.WriteLine("Cookie: " + cookieValue.ToString());
                }
                sw.Close();
            }
        }

    }
}

Answer 2

//Please use this,
HttpWebRequest request = null;
request = HttpWebRequest.Create(StringURL) as HttpWebRequest;                
HttpWebResponse TheRespone = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
String setCookieHeader = TheRespone.Headers[HttpResponseHeader.SetCookie];

Answer 3

To get the list of cookies, you can use the below method;

private async Task<List<Cookie>> GetCookies(string url)
{
    var cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
    var uri = new Uri(url);
    using (var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler
    {
        CookieContainer = cookieContainer
    })
    {
        using (var httpClient = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler))
        {
            await httpClient.GetAsync(uri);
            return cookieContainer.GetCookies(uri).Cast<Cookie>().ToList();
        }
    }
}
