ConnectionRequest and Cookie

[State Thirteen]

Hi,

What should I do to set a cookie header in the ConnectionRequest?

I have tried to set a Cookie like this

Date date=new Date();

Cookie ljsession = new Cookie();

ljsession.setDomain("livejournal.com");

ljsession.setName("ljsession");

ljsession.setValue(authCookie);

ljsession.setPath("/");

ljsession.setExpires(date.getTime()+24*60*60*1000);

But in request headers I am getting only  

cookie=[vertical_tags=1383827150%7Cvaut]

Hi,
normally cookies sent by the server should automatically be returned to that domain so you don't really need to explicitly set a cookie.

The cookie object is one that's returned its not designed for adding cookies and we don't have that option. You can explicitly invoke add header to manually add the cookie header. The server will then start returning the cookie and you will no longer need to set it.

Normally yes, I don't need to send the cookie. But in my case I have to form and send it manually because of specific challenge authentication method.

I have tried 

requestElement.addRequestHeader("cookie", "ljsession="+authCookie);

but nothing changed

That should work, did you use the HTTP monitor to see what is sent/received?
Is the header sent?
Is Set-Cookie received? Where does this fail?

I am using Network monitor in simulator and in request headers I see only cookie=[vertical_tags=1383827150%7Cvaut]

OK I see a potential problem there. I'll add a method called:

protected String initCookieHeader(String cookie)

You will then be able to override it and add your value to the cookie header that's already sent.
We intend to make an update to the plugin this week so you should be able to use it then.

Thank you. That would be useful )
