About SetCookie

[thefunkyjoint]

Let's say i have JSON file with cookies from a logged account in a social network, and i want to import these cookies to CEF4Delphi, so the user get logged on CEF4Delphi too.

Is there a specific order that SetCookie should be called ? I mean, does i need to include the cookies before navigate to the social network page, or there is no difference ?

And in this situation (importing cookies from logged account), what should be the value of the same_site property ?

TCefCookieSameSite = (
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_UNSPECIFIED,
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_NO_RESTRICTION,
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_LAX_MODE,
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_STRICT_MODE
);

Anoquer question, please : every cookie i try to set with SetCookie, fails and return false... is there a way to debug why ? On UCefChromiumCore , the result is always false on :

Code: Select all

Result := TempManager.SetCookie(url, name_, value, domain, path,
                                              secure, httponly, hasExpires,
                                              creation, lastAccess, expires,
                                              same_site, priority,
                                              TempCallback);

I'm filling all parameters. What am i missing ?

I've never done that but I guess the cookies should be added before navigating to that website.

And in this situation (importing cookies from logged account), what should be the value of the same_site property ?

TCefCookieSameSite = (
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_UNSPECIFIED,
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_NO_RESTRICTION,
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_LAX_MODE,
CEF_COOKIE_SAME_SITE_STRICT_MODE
);

Read that value from the same_site argument in the TChromium.OnCookiesVisited event.

These are the code comments for ICefCookieManager.SetCookie :

Code: Select all

    /// Sets a cookie given a valid URL and explicit user-provided cookie
    /// attributes. This function expects each attribute to be well-formed. It
    /// will check for disallowed characters (e.g. the ';' character is disallowed
    /// within the cookie value attribute) and fail without setting the cookie if
    /// such characters are found. If |callback| is non-NULL it will be executed
    /// asnychronously on the UI thread after the cookie has been set. Returns
    /// false (0) if an invalid URL is specified or if cookies cannot be accessed.
