I just started using the Google HTTP Client Library for Java and I like it a lot. However, I don't know if there's an easy way to handle the case when a server sends header Set-Cookie. I looked through documentation, sample code, and Javadoc and saw nothing, so I started implementing my own solution. However, this process seems common enough that I would think Google would have implemented a solution for everyone.
Server sends something like:
Set-Cookie: uid=ef308bd9-4580-4ef0-8cdd-2b09f383419e; Expires=Tue, 31 Dec 2199 23:59:59 GMT; Domain=mydomain.com; Path=/
My client has to manually parse it all:
String[] parts = cookie.split(";");
if (parts.length > 0) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("([^\\s=]*)=(.*)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(parts[0]);
if (m.matches()) {
Cookie cookie = new Cookie(m.group(1), m.group(2));
if (parts.length > 1) {
for (int i = 1; i < parts.length; i++) {
// parse and set "Expires", "Max-Age", "Domain", "Path",
// "Secure", "HttpOnly", etc.
}
}
}
}
Is there any library method to handle this stuff instead of me implementing it myself?
