How does URLLoader deal with cookies?

Question

I'm using AS3 in Adobe AIR for desktop, not in a browser, I'm not sure if that makes a difference in this situation.

• I'm sending requests to an API using URLLoader.
• Each request that I send is coming from a new URLLoader instance.

I thought that I would have to deal with the cookies myself, but I'm using Fiddler to trace the HTTP requests and it seems that the cookies are being dealt with automatically even though I'm using a different instance for each request.

My questions:

• Am I right, Is it dealing with these cookies automatically?
• Is there any property to manage this behavior?

Answer 1

Actually, just after posting this question I thought that it may be handled by URLRequest and not URLLoader. It is: URLRequest.manageCookies

So, to answer my own questions:

• Yes it is managing them automatically.
• Yes, it can be managed via the appropriately named manageCookies property.
