Storing Cookies Windows Store App

Question

As I discovered here, when I make a call to a server to ask for authentication in the form of a cookie, the cookie in the response is handled automatically by the underlying metro framework.

However, this means I don't have access to the cookie and, therefore, cannot store it when the app is suspended for later use. How are we supposed to store cookie information in the metro framework?

All help is greatly appreciated and I always accept an answer!

Answer 1

We implemented sessionStorage for sessions and localStorage for persistence as a complete cookie replacement in our Windows 8 app and it has worked very well. Both storage engines are extremely straightforward to use, you can read up on them here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/DOM/Storage
