Introduction
Http cookies are basically name/value pairs which can be saved to a Webbrowser to “remember” what the client (user) did. It helps to overcome the disadvantages of the stateless http protocol.
This example shows how to create a cookie and store it in the URLConnection property.
try { // Create a URLConnection object for a URL URL url = new URL("http://hostname:80"); URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); // Set the cookie value to send conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "name1=value1; name2=value2"); // Send the request to the server conn.connect(); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { } catch (IOException e) { }
