Cookie support?

[keul]

An feature request (not found in documentation).

Does this support cookies?

Usecase: I can integrate this module inside an existings framework. This framework generate for me the authentication/session cookie, so to perform request using requests there I need to add the same auth cookie already generated.

It does not yet, but I am planning on adding that in to the next release.

It's just a matter of keeping the api as elegant as possible. What would you find appropriate? Just having a cookies list you can pass in (and build the cookies it yourself externally)?

Looking at the minimalistic approach of this library (that I think is what users will like ofit) I think that adding only a feature for adding a list of cookie is enough!

[kennethreitz]

My thoughts exactly.

Plan is to have an optional cookiejar paramater to the requests. You can then add your cookielib.CookieJar object there, and that will be passed along with the request.

v0.2.2 was just released, which adds support for CookieJars. Thanks!

jar = cookielib.CookieJar()
#stuff w/ jar

requests.get('url', cookies=jar)
