I'm using the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse components to automatically
scrape content from various internet news sites to store on my iPaq PDA
which I later read off-line while commuting to/from work. I don't have room
on the PDA for all the associated advertising stuff these sites have, so I
filter out all but the important text.
It's worked a treat until recently when 1 of the sites I read upgraded.
When I browsed to it using IE, I had to sign-on and accept a cookie from the
server. On subsequent visits to the site using IE, the cookie is read and
the sign-on is bypassed automatically.
Does anyone now how I can automate the reply to the cookie request inside a
dotNet application?

Hi Ian,
Some webpages are more and more thrash. Microsoft is starting to do things
to prevent that, did you read this article before you do a lot of work. http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/d...p2websites.asp
I do not know if your problem is on it (When I understand your problem well,
than is it the dynamic website), and when it is prevented by the servicepack
2 (I doubt it), you do maybe a lot of not needed work.
Otherwise you can maybe just set the security mode in IE in a way that it
does not accept cookies. (Hard today, however maybe the remedy)
I hope this helps?

Ian,
There isn't actually a "cookie request". Instead, the web client (or
browser) sends on each request the cookies appropriate to the request. This
is determined by the domain and path of the cookie vs. the domain and path
of the request. It is further determined by client privacy settings.
In order to do this in a program, you should look at the
System.Net.Cook ieContainer class.

Hi John, In order to do this in a program, you should look at the System.Net.Cook ieContainer class.
Is this not special made for the serverside so that you to can control the
user cookies when there are more webservers at the same time doing the same
client and not for the clientside to control cookies made by such a server?

I've used the CookieContainer client-side as a place to hold cookies sent by
the server and a place for cookies which the client might send back to the
server.

Hi,
I have a legacy VB6 webclass app that has been directly ported
to VB.NET. My .NET webclass infrastructure works in more or
less the same way but is now specific to my app and not the
generic like the original MS version. This is all implemented in
1 DLL using a series of HttpHandlers and HttpModules.
Anyhow, I need to do manual authentication ticket handling,
which in this case I use an MD5 hash for.

I store the authenticated user in a session cookie. This cookie expires after
an hour. Now for some reason sometimes the client browser decides not to send
the session cookie information with a new request. This means the server
receives a request without user information and redirect the user to the
login page.
Somebody any bright ideas?
