CookieJar

interface CookieJar

Provides policy and persistence for HTTP cookies.

As policy, implementations of this interface are responsible for selecting which cookies to accept and which to reject. A reasonable policy is to reject all cookies, though that may interfere with session-based authentication schemes that require cookies.

As persistence, implementations of this interface must also provide storage of cookies. Simple implementations may store cookies in memory; sophisticated ones may use the file system or database to hold accepted cookies. The cookie storage model specifies policies for updating and expiring cookies.

Functions

loadForRequest	`abstract fun loadForRequest(url: HttpUrl): List<Cookie>` Load cookies from the jar for an HTTP request to `url`. This method returns a possibly empty list of cookies for the network request.
saveFromResponse	`abstract fun saveFromResponse(url: HttpUrl, cookies: List<Cookie>): Unit` Saves `cookies` from an HTTP response to this store according to this jar's policy.
