Setting a cookie in a WebBrowser control
Solution 1:
Looks like there is a better way:
Import the InternetSetCookie
function:
[DllImport("wininet.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
static extern bool InternetSetCookie(string lpszUrlName, string lpszCookieName, string lpszCookieData);
Create the Cookie
object:
Cookie temp1 = new Cookie("KEY1", "VALUE1", "/Path/To/My/App", "/");
Call InternetSetCookie
function to set the cookie for that URL
InternetSetCookie("https://my.url.com/Path/To/My/App", null, temp1.ToString() + "; expires = Sun, 01-Jan-2013 00:00:00 GMT");
Navigate
the WebBrowser
to the URL you would like to go to.
webBrowser1.Navigate("https://my.url.com/Path/To/My/App");
Think this is the best solution for the issue :).
Solution 2:
The proper way is using InternetSetCookieEx.
[DllImport("wininet.dll")]
static extern InternetCookieState InternetSetCookieEx(
string lpszURL,
string lpszCookieName,
string lpszCookieData,
int dwFlags,
int dwReserved);
enum InternetCookieState : int
{
COOKIE_STATE_UNKNOWN = 0x0,
COOKIE_STATE_ACCEPT = 0x1,
COOKIE_STATE_PROMPT = 0x2,
COOKIE_STATE_LEASH = 0x3,
COOKIE_STATE_DOWNGRADE = 0x4,
COOKIE_STATE_REJECT = 0x5,
COOKIE_STATE_MAX = COOKIE_STATE_REJECT
}
Here's some code to test it at a website that shows your HTTP headers.
InternetSetCookieEx("http://request.urih.com/", null, "TestData=Test;", 0, 0);
webBrowser1.Navigate("http://request.urih.com/");
