HTTPWebRequest and CookieContainer

Question

I am creating a new HTTPWebRequest, but I cannot assign a CookieContainer to it, how is this possible?

CookieContainer = new CookieContainer(); //Create a WebRequest to get the file HttpWebRequest fileReq = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(@"http://www.example.com/file.zip); 

Answer 1

Here is a simple example of using CookieContainer

  public static void Main(string[] args) { if (args == null || args.Length != 1) { Console.WriteLine("Specify the URL to receive the request."); Environment.Exit(1); } HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(args[0]); request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer(); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse(); // Print the properties of each cookie. foreach (Cookie cook in response.Cookies) { // Show the string representation of the cookie. Console.WriteLine ("String: {0}", cook.ToString()); } }
