Keep losing php session cookie in UIWebView

Question

I\'m new to the forum and also quite new to iOS Dev. I\'m having trouble with a UIWebView, where I keep losing login permission to a HTML form which sets a phpsession cookie

Answer 1

I use in my app many requests and every time when I send a request I get the cookies for the url from NSHTTPCookieStorage. I do not use NSUserDefaults or something else to store the cookies.

When I send a new request I set the needed cookies my self

NSURL *myURL = ....
NSMutableRequest *mutableRequest = ....
NSArray *cookiesToSet = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookiesForURL:myURL];
for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in cookiesToSet) {
    [cookieStringToSet appendFormat:@"%@=%@;", cookie.name, cookie.value];
}

if (cookieStringToSet.length) {
    [mutableRequest setValue:cookieStringToSet forHTTPHeaderField:@"Cookie"];
}

And it works
