loop through cookies not returning any results

[Ranvier]

Hello All,

Using asp.net

I am trying to retrieve a cookie that is being set manually on the IIS server when the page loads. However I cannot seem to get the value. When I use firefox debugger all the cookies are showing correctly, but when I use a CookieContainer to loop through all the cookies I cannot get any results excpet from this:

24/11/2009 08:09:00 Cookie:guide.opendns.com
24/11/2009 08:09:00 Cookie:t
24/11/2009 08:09:00 Cookie:/
24/11/2009 08:09:00 Cookie:x-0
24/11/2009 08:09:00 Cookie:

My code is below (the l.wl just prints the line). Does anyone know how to retrieve the cookies?

//-------------------------------

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("

http://www.my-test-iisserver/webpages/");

request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

foreach (Cookie cook in response.Cookies)
{
l.wl("Cookie:" + cook.Domain);
l.wl("Cookie:" + cook.Name);
l.wl("Cookie:" + cook.Path);
l.wl("Cookie:" + cook.Value);
l.wl("Cookie:" + cook.CommentUri);
}

//-------------------------------

Thanks in advance

I belive you want to use a CookieCollection, not a container. Check this article and see if it helps:

What is your code and what do you expect?

My aim is to retrieve a cookie that is being set server side so I ca use the value of the cookie as part of my validation process.

The cookie is being set in an .inc file and is:

Response.Cookies("sessionId") = sessionId;

When I run my app I am expecting to get this cookie, I have tried what I think is correct but I cannot seem to get the content of the cookie.

Have tried

Request.Cookies["sessionId"].Value

Session.SessionID

and also looping through the cookies as above but nothing is returned.

The page is opened by many users at different times.

Thanks

How are you using a .inc file? They are not used anymore in .NET although I guess you could. I suspect that the cookies are not being set initially.
