This is an example of how to send a cookie with an HTTP request in Java. In short, to send cookies with HTTP requests one should :
- Create a URL Object that represents the resource you want to access
- Use the
openConnection()API method of the URL Object to access connection specific parameters for the HTTP request - Use the
setRequestProperty()API method from the connection Object to set a Name-Value pair representing the cookie to be used for the specific HTTP request. You can set several Name-Value pairs as the value of the specific cookie separated by semi-colons
as shown in the code snippet below.
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
public class SendCookieWithHTTPRequest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com: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();
}
}
