c# WebRequest using WebBrowser cookie

Question

I am logging into a site using a WebBrowser, then i want use regex to get some data , but webRequest didnt use web Browse cookie ,

my webBrowser is in public , is there any way to using WebBrowser cookie in webRequest ?

Answer 1

    public CookieContainer GetCookieContainer()
    {
        CookieContainer container = new CookieContainer();

        foreach (string cookie in webBrowser1.Document.Cookie.Split(';'))
        {
            string name = cookie.Split('=')[0];
            string value = cookie.Substring(name.Length + 1);
            string path = "/";
            string domain = ".google.com"; //change to your domain name
            container.Add(new Cookie(name.Trim(), value.Trim(), path, domain));
        }

        return container;
    }

This will work on most sites, however sites that use subdomains might be a problem.

You can use a CookieContainer for a Webrequest.

 web_cookies = new CookieContainer();
 // Create a 'WebRequest' object with the specified url.                 
 HttpWebRequest myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

 myWebRequest.CookieContainer = web_cookies;

Hope this helps.

Ok, you want to do a log in. Thats is different story. You can use NetworkCredential for that.

public string get_secure_webpage(string url, string username, string password)
    {
        WebRequest myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url);
        NetworkCredential networkCredential = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
        myWebRequest.Credentials = networkCredential;
