Implemented Interfaces

SoupCookieJar implements SoupSessionFeature.

Includes

#include <libsoup/soup.h>

Description

A SoupCookieJar stores SoupCookies and arrange for them to be sent with the appropriate SoupMessages. SoupCookieJar implements SoupSessionFeature, so you can add a cookie jar to a session with soup_session_add_feature() or soup_session_add_feature_by_type().

Note that the base SoupCookieJar class does not support any form of long-term cookie persistence.

Functions

soup_cookie_jar_new ()

SoupCookieJar *
soup_cookie_jar_new (void);

Creates a new SoupCookieJar. The base SoupCookieJar class does not support persistent storage of cookies; use a subclass for that.

Returns

a new SoupCookieJar

Since 2.24


soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies ()

char *
soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies (SoupCookieJar *jar,
                             SoupURI *uri,
                             gboolean for_http);

Retrieves (in Cookie-header form) the list of cookies that would be sent with a request to uri .

If for_http is TRUE, the return value will include cookies marked "HttpOnly" (that is, cookies that the server wishes to keep hidden from client-side scripting operations such as the JavaScript document.cookies property). Since SoupCookieJar sets the Cookie header itself when making the actual HTTP request, you should almost certainly be setting for_http to FALSE if you are calling this.

Parameters

jar

a SoupCookieJar

 

uri

a SoupURI

 

for_http

whether or not the return value is being passed directly to an HTTP operation

 

Returns

the cookies, in string form, or NULL if there are no cookies for uri .

Since 2.24


soup_cookie_jar_get_cookie_list ()

GSList *
soup_cookie_jar_get_cookie_list (SoupCookieJar *jar,
                                 SoupURI *uri,
                                 gboolean for_http);

Retrieves the list of cookies that would be sent with a request to uri as a GSList of SoupCookie objects.

If for_http is TRUE, the return value will include cookies marked "HttpOnly" (that is, cookies that the server wishes to keep hidden from client-side scripting operations such as the JavaScript document.cookies property). Since SoupCookieJar sets the Cookie header itself when making the actual HTTP request, you should almost certainly be setting for_http to FALSE if you are calling this.

Parameters

jar

a SoupCookieJar

 

uri

a SoupURI

 

for_http

whether or not the return value is being passed directly to an HTTP operation

 

Returns

a GSList with the cookies in the jar that would be sent with a request to uri .

soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie ()

void
soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie (SoupCookieJar *jar,
                            SoupURI *uri,
                            const char *cookie);

Adds cookie to jar , exactly as though it had appeared in a Set-Cookie header returned from a request to uri .

Keep in mind that if the SoupCookieJarAcceptPolicy SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY is set you'll need to use soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party(), otherwise the jar will have no way of knowing if the cookie is being set by a third party or not.

Parameters

jar

a SoupCookieJar

 

uri

the URI setting the cookie

 

cookie

the stringified cookie to set

 

Since 2.24


soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party ()

void
soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party
                               (SoupCookieJar *jar,
                                SoupURI *uri,
                                SoupURI *first_party,
                                const char *cookie);

Adds cookie to jar , exactly as though it had appeared in a Set-Cookie header returned from a request to uri . first_party will be used to reject cookies coming from third party resources in case such a security policy is set in the jar .

Parameters

jar

a SoupCookieJar

 

uri

the URI setting the cookie

 

first_party

the URI for the main document

 

cookie

                            SoupCookie *cookie);

Adds cookie to jar , emitting the 'changed' signal if we are modifying an existing cookie or adding a valid new cookie ('valid' means that the cookie's expire date is not in the past).

Types and Values

SoupCookieJar

typedef struct _SoupCookieJar SoupCookieJar;


enum SoupCookieJarAcceptPolicy

The policy for accepting or rejecting cookies returned in responses.

Members

SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_ALWAYS

accept all cookies unconditionally.

 

SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NEVER

reject all cookies unconditionally.

 

SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY

accept all cookies set by the main document loaded in the application using libsoup. An example of the most common case, web browsers, would be: If http://www.example.com is the page loaded, accept all cookies set by example.com, but if a resource from http://www.third-party.com is loaded from that page reject any cookie that it could try to set. For libsoup to be able to tell apart first party cookies from the rest, the application must call soup_message_set_first_party() on each outgoing SoupMessage, setting the SoupURI of the main document. If no first party is set in a message when this policy is in effect, cookies will be assumed to be third party by default.
