Remarks

A CookieContainer provides storage for CookieCollection objects on HttpWebRequest objects through the HttpWebRequest.CookieContainer property. The CookieContainer creates an internal CookieCollection to store cookies associated with a particular Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). A Cookie is retrieved from the container based on its URI as a CookieCollection, or as a string that can be used to submit with HTTP requests.

You must always create a CookieContainer to send with a request if you want cookies to be returned on the response. This is also true for HTTPOnly cookies, which you cannot retrieve.

The CookieContainer has three properties that specify the volume of the content of the container: Capacity, MaxCookieSize, and PerDomainCapacity. These properties have the default values of 300, 4096, and 20 respectively. When a Cookie is added to the container, these properties are used to determine whether a Cookie is already contained in the CookieContainer and whether one or more Cookie objects should be discarded to make room for the new one. The CookieContainer keeps track of each addition to make sure that neither the CookieContainer nor the PerDomainCapacity limits are exceeded. If one or both are exceeded, then Cookie instances held by the CookieContainer are removed. First, any expired Cookie is removed. If additional capacity must be recaptured, then the least-recently-used CookieCollection is purged. If you attempt to add a cookie that already exists, that cookie will be overwritten.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the Add method.

request.CookieContainer.Add(New Uri("http://api.search.live.net"), _
    New Cookie("id", "1234"))

request.CookieContainer.Add(new Uri("http://api.search.live.net"),
    new Cookie("id", "1234"));
