QNetworkCookieJar - Retrieving individual data from cookie

maximus

I have set up a standard QNetworkCookieJar to be used with multiple QWebView I use in my application.

I need to retrieve some cookie data in order to create a custom c++ object
However the function allCookie() is protected and I can't seem to get them.

Anyone did this before?

Here is my code trying to retrieve the cookies :
@ QNetworkAccessManager nam = qApp->property("NetworkManager").value<QNetworkAccessManager>();
QNetworkCookieJar *jar = nam->cookieJar();

QList<QNetworkCookie> cookiesLst = jar->allCookies();
 for (int i = cookiesLst.count() - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
        qDebug() << "found cookie here";
 }@

Thanks

You can use "QNetworkCookieJar::cookiesForUrl":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qnetworkcookiejar.html#cookiesForUrl

Or you can derive your class from QNetworkCookieJar and use allCookies() in that class as it is "suggested":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qnetworkcookiejar.html#allCookies in the doc.

Hi,

You can't access protect functions unless you are deriving from that class. From a quick look at QNetworkCookieJar, you'll have to use cookiesForUrl

Thanks for the guidance guys.
cookiesForUrl is perfect for my needs, I don't need to persist the cookie for now.

I'm using codeIgniter to set the cookie on the server side :
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/sessions.html

I retrieve the cookie this way:
@ QList<QNetworkCookie> cookiesLst = jar->cookiesForUrl(QUrl(Environnement::getURLEnvironnement()));

foreach (QNetworkCookie cookie, cookiesLst) {
    qDebug() << cookie.name();
    qDebug() << cookie;
}@

log :
@"ci_session"
QNetworkCookie("ci_session=a:4:{s:10:"session_id";s:32:"ee434b8cba49682794ec50eeee959917";s:10:"ip_address";s:3:"::1";s:10:"user_agent";s:101:"Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64)+AppleWebKit/538.1+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+MaximumTrainer+Safari/538.1";s:13:"last_activity";i:1405003057;}0aab4290e254a90ca848c80362216400; expires=Sat, 09-Jul-2016 14:37:50 GMT; domain=localhost; path=/")
"localhost" @

I'll have to find how to retrieve custom session data, so far it only return me the basic codeIgniter cookie but not the data I added. if it's too complex i'll just make a request to a webservice instead at the cost of one more DB requets.
Thanks for the help guys
