To send cookies to the server, you need to add the "Cookie: name=value" header to your request. To send multiple Cookies in one cookie header, you can separate them with semicolons. In this Send Cookies example, we are sending HTTP cookies to the ReqBin echo URL.
When a user's browser sends HTTP requests to a web server, the browser adds cookies to every request to the same domain. The cookie file is stored in the user's browser application data folder. Later, the browser automatically sends this cookie as part of the request.
Cookies can't be shared between domains so the http and https pages would need to be on thesame domain as a minimum (which would mean having your own dedicated IP address and security certificate for your domain.
The server sends the following in its response header to set a cookie field.
Set-Cookie:name=value
If there is a cookie set, then the browser sends the following in its request header.
Cookie:name=value
