HttpRequestHeader cookie format

Question

In which format does HttpRequestHeader.Cookies need to be specified? F.e, if I want to add cookie named CITY with value NY how should I do that with WebClient.Headers.Add() method?

Answer 1

Try this sample

  WebClient wb = new WebClient(); 

    wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, "CITY=NY"); 

For many cookies:

wb.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, "cookiename1=cookievalue1; cookiename2=cookievalue2"); 

Answer 2

To add a cookie it's best and easiest to use Response.Cookies.Add();

HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("lastVisit");
myCookie.Value = DateTime.Now.ToString();
myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie);

Answer 3

Headers.Add:

 myWebHeaderCollection.Add("CITY","NY");

Here is how your Cookie header should look like at the end rfc 6265:

Cookie: CITY=NY;
