how to include header in HTTP.post

[Joe Fleck]

Hi all,

Very new to HTTP.

I need to send in a header with a post to set the project cookie.  The header includes a session cookie that is needed to set the project cookie.

I thought something like this would work but it does.

HTTP.post("#{<endpoint url>", :json => {"key":<key>, "value":<value>}).header("Cookie":cookie)

Any help you would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Have a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie

You'll need to do something like:

HTTP.headers('Set-Cookie' => '<cookie-name>=<cookie-value>; Domain=<domain-value>')

and add any info in that cookie string like Path or Expires etc. Also have a look at https://github.com/httprb/http/wiki/Headers

It's becoming increasingly clear to me our cookie handling could be significantly better.

I think this API could be improved with a hypothetical HTTP::Session type which manages a CookieJar:

Hi Slava,

Should that be an array?

I feel like I am there but still getting an unauthorized return status.

HTTP.headers("Set-Cookie" => "<cookie>=<value>").post(<URL>, :json => {""}).

Set-Cookie is a server response, not client's header. It instructs client to set cookie. Client sends cookies with Cookie header.

What you need is:

HTTP.cookies("foo" => "bar").get(...)

[Aleksey Zapparov]

Alternatively you can provide cookie header yourself:

HTTP.headers("Cookie" => "foo=bar;xxx=zzz")

Above is same as:

HTTP.cookies("foo" => "bar", "xxx" => "zzz")
