Hello, i would like to know :
How to assign a separate folder for storing cookie and cache for each and every Chromium
I used to do it like that:
Code: Select all
String sCookies = "C://qwe/br_1/CookiesDir";
String sCache = "C://qwe/br_1/CacheDir";
_di_ICefRequestContext FRequestContext = TCefRequestContextRef::New(sCache, L"en-US,ru-RU", true, true, true, false);
Chromium->CreateBrowser(CEFWindowParent, "Browser"+IntToStr(i), FRequestContext, sCookies, true);
But everything has changed, can you help me?

Hi,
CEF removed the possibility to use a different directory for the cookies several months ago.
If you use the latest CEF libraries then you can only set the cache directory. The cookies will be stored in the same directory as the cache.
If you want to create a bunch of independent browsers in one application you can use a very similar code than the one you gave.
You would only have to create a request context with an independent "cache" parameter for each browser.
The
MDIBrowser demo has all the code you need :

There was a problem like this:
Does the "Cookies" file contain only a name without a value? What could be the reason?

That file is managed by Chromium internally.
I could be wrong but the real value might be hidden in the "encrypted_value" column.

Yes, there is data in this column, I did not notice it.
But the next time I start the program, I am not authorized on the site again. =(

Here's another thing I noticed:
If the program is given a cookie file from the old version, where the value is not encrypted, it will start authorized on the site and everything is OK, but after closing it, it will move the value to "encrypted_value" and at the next launch it will start not authorized.

Please, check that you set
GlobalCEFApp.RootCache property before the GlobalCEFApp.StartMainProcess call in the DPR file.
GlobalCEFApp.RootCache must be a parent directory to all the cache directories used by the browsers in your application as explained here :
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1122&start=10#p6242
This is very important to Chromium because it stores a file called "LocalPrefs.json" with the keys to decrypt the cookie values in that directory. Without it, the browser will not be able to decrypt the cookies and the session will be closed the next time you open that website.
