Retrieving cookies from httprequest in Xamarin.forms - web-services

Question

help me, i couldn't get the cookies from an httprequest, i tried the plugins.settings, i tried the pcl share too, am in this problem for a month
public async Task<bool> PostAsync(AuthUser user)
{
var CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
var handler = new HttpClientHandler() { CookieContainer =
CookieContainer };
var _client = new HttpClient(handler);
IEnumerable<string> cookieStrings = null;
//var httpClient = new HttpClient();
_client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new
MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(user);
HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(json);
httpContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
try
{
string url = WebServiceUrl + "j_spring_security_check?j_username=" + user.j_username +"&j_password=" + user.j_password + "&ajax=true";
HttpResponseMessage result = await _client.PostAsync(url, httpContent);
IEnumerable<string> cookies;
if (result.Headers.TryGetValues("set-cookie", out cookies))
{
foreach (var c in cookies)
{
await App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Cookie", c , "OK");
}
}
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
using (var responsecontent = result.Content)
{
string resultString = responsecontent.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AuthUser>(resultString);
if (response.error != null)
{
await App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Error", response.result.error, "OK");
return false;
}
else if (response.result.success.Equals("1"))
{
App.Current.MainPage = new NavigationPage(new TimelineMenuPage(response.result.user_id.ToString(), response.result.token));
return true;
}
}
}
return result.IsSuccessStatusCode;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
await App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Alert", e.ToString(), "OK");
throw;
}
}
when debugging it skips this part :
if (result.Headers.TryGetValues("set-cookie", out cookies))
{
foreach (var c in cookies)
{
await App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Cookie", c , "OK");
}
}
**and then i get in CookieContainer count=0 **

Answer 1

Since you are already using a CookieContainer, and you will know the Uri you are getting them from, why don't you just get the Cookies directly from the Container, instead of a set-cookie command, that you will then have to parse.
cookieContainer.GetCookies(new Uri("mydomain.com"));
After your HttpRequest, it will automatically put them into the CookieContainer.
