Re: [Htmlunit-user] Cookies not getting set in HTMLUnit 2.23

[Ronald B. <rb...@rb...>]

Ok Vasu,

this was a really tricky one.

You are interacting directly with the cookie manager in this way

    final CookieManager mgr = webClient.getCookieManager();
   mgr.addCookie(new Cookie(".jobdiva.com", "COMPANYLOGOLOCATION", "my_data", "/", -1, false));

In this case you are responsible for all the cookie properties.
But there is some magic, if a web site sends a comparable cookie like "COMPANYLOGOLOCATION=my_data; Domain=.jobdiva.com; Path=/".
Internally there is some cleanup before the cookie is added to the cookie manager, in this case the leading dot will be removed from the domain.
When sending th cookies back the cookie matches now, because of the removed dot at the start. This logic is more or less part of HttpClient already.

Ok, and what to do now?

I guess you like to simulate some cookies sent from the server before you are starting your request. I think the more correct way is to interact with the webClient instead of the CookieManager directly because there is a way to use the same magic as we use 
when processing cookies from the real response.

	webClient.addCookie("COMPANYLOGOLOCATION=my_data; Domain=.jobdiva.com; Path=/");

is your friend.
Hope that helps.
