Module isahc::cookies

Types for cookie state management.

Cookie jars

By default HTTP is a mostly stateless protocol, but using cookies allow a server to request a client to persist specific state between requests. Isahc does not do this by default, but provides support for cookie state using a cookie jar, which can store a list of cookies in memory between requests and is responsible for keeping track of which cookies belong to which domains.

A cookie jar can be used on a per-request basis or for all requests sent via a particular HTTP client. You can assign a cookie jar to a request or to a client via the Configurable::cookie_jar extension method. If different cookie jars are assigned on both a request and the client sending the request, the one assigned to the individual request will take precedence.

The global default client instance does not have an assigned cookie jar.
