Cookies and URLConnection.setRequestProperty()

I need to send a cookie to a server over HTTP. I have found several threads on how to do this, using the setRequestProperty() method of URLConnection. No luck.

I tried all kinds of spellings, like

urlConn.setRequestProperty("Cookie" , "this=that");

urlConn.setRequestProperty("Cookie:" , "this=that");

and so on, and then check it with a simple snoop servlet. No luck :-(

Does anybody know what I may be doing wrong? I do not call the connect() method of the URLConnection explicitlty or implicitly before calling setRequestProperty. Is the only solution using sockets?

Solved it!

A bit embarassing of course, but here's my solution:

For some strange reason (copy&paste is Evil), I never used my nice URLConnection object, but in stead called URL.openStream(), which of course generates a new URLConnection object that I can't manipulate :-(

So, now, this code works:

URL myURL = new URL("http://www.somewhere.com");

URLConnection urlConn = myURL.openConnection();

urlConn.setRequestProperty("MyCookie","Something");

InputStream inStream = urlConn.getInputStream();

//Do not try InputStream inStream = myURL.openStream() here, it will mess up everything

Now, if I could only find a way to disable Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V...

//marius. Happy Man
