get/set cookie?

[happyshows]

Hi,

I have a use case where I need to set up cookie value when running GET/POST method (for a tmp authentication purpose). Is there a way to do so in this package?

thanks for the issue @happyshows

at the moment there's nothing built in to help with cookies.

you can set them manually like

x <- HttpClient$new(
  url = "https://httpbin.org",
  opts = list(cookie = "c=1;f=5")
)

# set cookies
res <- x$get("cookies")
jsonlite::fromJSON(res$parse("UTF-8"))

but they aren't yet persisted across requests - working on that

working on some docs for this

DOAJ sets cookies - good eg to work with

@happyshows can you reinstall devtools::install_github("ropensci/crul") and try again? let me know if cookies work for you for your use case
