My previous question was about the problem that I have to login each time for doing web services like posting a link or uploading a picture. Philipe answered that I have to use cookies instead of login process for each request. I found this method for getting cookies:
- (void)getCookies {
NSHTTPURLResponse * response;
NSError * error;
NSMutableURLRequest *request;
request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://MyWebsite.com/login.php"]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData
timeoutInterval:120];
NSData * data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSLog(@"%@", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]);
NSArray * all = [NSHTTPCookie cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields:[response allHeaderFields] forURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://MyWebsite.com/login.php"]];
NSLog(@"%d", all.count);
for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in all) {
NSLog(@"Name: %@ : Value: %@", cookie.name, cookie.value);
NSLog(@"Comment: %@ : CommentURL: %@", cookie.comment, cookie.commentURL);
NSLog(@"Domain: %@ : ExpiresDate: %@", cookie.domain, cookie.expiresDate);
NSLog(@"isHTTPOnly: %c : isSecure: %c", cookie.isHTTPOnly, cookie.isSecure);
NSLog(@"isSessionOnly: %c : path: %@", cookie.isSessionOnly, cookie.path);
NSLog(@"portList: %@ : properties: %@", cookie.portList, cookie.properties);
NSLog(@"version: %u", cookie.version);
}
}
I also found this code to use these cookies, but I'm not sure how to use it:
[[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookie:cookies];
Here is my method for POSTing, I am using RestKit API:
- (IBAction)addLinkPressed:(UIButton *)sender {
[RKClient clientWithBaseURLString:@"http://MyWebsite.com"];
NSDictionary* params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
self.linkField.text, @"url",
self.linkTitleField.text, @"title",
self.linkSummaryField.text, @"summary",
nil];
RKRequest *request = [[RKClient sharedClient] post:@"/send_link.php" params:params delegate:self];
[request setUserData:@"sendLink"];
}
Question: Which property of cookies should I store to use it for login information and where should I put it in my code?
