Httpie: Support for cookies?

Is there support for cookies?

The underlying request lib seems to support cookies....

Cheers,

Yes, you can specify cookies just like all the other headers:

$ http GET httpbin.org/cookies Cookie:hello=world
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:19:45 GMT
Server: gunicorn/0.13.4
Content-Length: 43
Connection: keep-alive

{
    "cookies": {
        "hello": "world"
    }
}

(See also #13.)

Is that what you mean?

@jakubroztocil I'm wondering if cookies set by the server can be persisted across calls? Is this possible at all in httpie? So that for example I can use this to test session-based api calls...

@mcnemesis Yes, there is a sessions feature that allows cookies as well as custom headers and auth to persist between requests.

Awesome! Thanks @jakubroztocil

@jakubroztocil Can we use json for setting cookies?
Like {'MOODLEID1_': '%250xxx5C2', 'MoodleSession': 'btsmxxxxxxxosn7'}

@NightMachinary you can use a session file (https://httpie.org/docs#sessions):

Using cookies

$ cat  my-session.json
{
    "cookies": {
        "MOODLEID1_": {
            "value": "%250xxx5C2"
        },
        "MoodleSession": {
            "value": "btsmxxxxxxxosn7"
        }
    },
}
$ http --session ./my-session.json httpbin.org/headers
GET / HTTP/1.1
Cookie: MOODLEID1_=%250xxx5C2; MoodleSession=btsmxxxxxxxosn7

Using headers

$ cat  my-session.json
{
    "headers": {
        "Cookie": {
            "MOODLEID1_=%250xxx5C2; MoodleSession=btsmxxxxxxxosn7"
        }
    }
}
$ http --session ./my-session.json httpbin.org/headers
GET / HTTP/1.1
Cookie: MOODLEID1_=%250xxx5C2; MoodleSession=btsmxxxxxxxosn7
