Description

The WebKitCookieManager defines how to handle cookies in a WebKitWebContext. Get it from the context with webkit_web_context_get_cookie_manager(), and use it to set where to store cookies, with webkit_cookie_manager_set_persistent_storage(), to get the list of domains with cookies, with webkit_cookie_manager_get_domains_with_cookies(), or to set the acceptance policy, with webkit_cookie_manager_get_accept_policy() (among other actions).

Details

struct WebKitCookieManager

struct WebKitCookieManager;


enum WebKitCookiePersistentStorage

typedef enum {
    WEBKIT_COOKIE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_TEXT,
    WEBKIT_COOKIE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_SQLITE
} WebKitCookiePersistentStorage;

Enum values used to denote the cookie persistent storage types.

WEBKIT_COOKIE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_TEXT

Cookies are stored in a text file in the Mozilla "cookies.txt" format.

WEBKIT_COOKIE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_SQLITE

Cookies are stored in a SQLite file in the current Mozilla format.

enum WebKitCookieAcceptPolicy

typedef enum {
    WEBKIT_COOKIE_POLICY_ACCEPT_ALWAYS,
    WEBKIT_COOKIE_POLICY_ACCEPT_NEVER,
    WEBKIT_COOKIE_POLICY_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY
} WebKitCookieAcceptPolicy;

Enum values used to denote the cookie acceptance policies.

WEBKIT_COOKIE_POLICY_ACCEPT_ALWAYS

Accept all cookies unconditionally.

WEBKIT_COOKIE_POLICY_ACCEPT_NEVER

Reject all cookies unconditionally.

WEBKIT_COOKIE_POLICY_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY

Accept only cookies set by the main document loaded.

webkit_cookie_manager_set_persistent_storage ()

void                webkit_cookie_manager_set_persistent_storage
                                                        (WebKitCookieManager *cookie_manager,
                                                         const gchar *filename,
                                                         WebKitCookiePersistentStorage storage);

Set the filename where non-session cookies are stored persistently using storage as the format to read/write the cookies. Cookies are initially read from filename to create an initial set of cookies. Then, non-session cookies will be written to filename when the WebKitCookieManager::changed signal is emitted. By default, cookie_manager doesn't store the cookies persistenly, so you need to call this method to keep cookies saved across sessions.

cookie_manager :

filename :

the filename to read to/write from

storage :
