Is there support for cookies?
The underlying request lib seems to support cookies....
Cheers,

Yes, you can specify cookies just like all the other headers:
$ http GET httpbin.org/cookies Cookie:hello=world
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:19:45 GMT
Server: gunicorn/0.13.4
Content-Length: 43
Connection: keep-alive
{
"cookies": {
"hello": "world"
}
}
(See also #13.)
Is that what you mean?
@jakubroztocil I'm wondering if cookies set by the server can be persisted across calls? Is this possible at all in httpie? So that for example I can use this to test session-based api calls...
@mcnemesis Yes, there is a sessions feature that allows cookies as well as custom headers and auth to persist between requests.
Awesome! Thanks @jakubroztocil
@jakubroztocil Can we use json for setting cookies?
Like {'MOODLEID1_': '%250xxx5C2', 'MoodleSession': 'btsmxxxxxxxosn7'}
@NightMachinary you can use a session file (https://httpie.org/docs#sessions):
cookies
$ cat my-session.json
{
"cookies": {
"MOODLEID1_": {
"value": "%250xxx5C2"
},
"MoodleSession": {
"value": "btsmxxxxxxxosn7"
}
},
}
$ http --session ./my-session.json httpbin.org/headers
GET / HTTP/1.1
Cookie: MOODLEID1_=%250xxx5C2; MoodleSession=btsmxxxxxxxosn7
headers
$ cat my-session.json
{
"headers": {
"Cookie": {
"MOODLEID1_=%250xxx5C2; MoodleSession=btsmxxxxxxxosn7"
}
}
}
$ http --session ./my-session.json httpbin.org/headers
GET / HTTP/1.1
Cookie: MOODLEID1_=%250xxx5C2; MoodleSession=btsmxxxxxxxosn7
