I am using Http4s library to make HTTP calls to a REST web service. the rest web service requires me to set an authentication cookie.
I have written the following code to set this cookie.
val client = PooledHttp1Client()
val uri = Uri.uri("http://localhost/restService")
val req = Request(GET, uri)
req.headers.put(`Content-Type`(MediaType.`application/json`))
val cookie = org.http4s.Cookie("foo_session", getLoginSessionId, domain = Some("localhost"), path=Some("/"))
req.headers.put(org.http4s.headers.Cookie(cookie))
val task = client.expect[Response](req)
val list = task.run
list.response.foreach(println)
client.shutdownNow()
When I run this code I get a 401 error, meaning that the web service does not recognize that the cookie was set.
Now If I write the same code using apache http client. then everything works fine. The code below is doing exactly the same thing as above.
val get = new HttpGet(s"http://localhost/restService")
get.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json")
val client = new DefaultHttpClient()
val respHandler = new BasicResponseHandler
val cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore()
val cookie1 = new BasicClientCookie("foo_session", getLoginSessionId)
cookie1.setDomain("localhost")
cookie1.setPath("/")
cookieStore.addCookie(cookie1)
val localContext = new BasicHttpContext()
localContext.setAttribute(HttpClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, cookieStore)
localContext
val responseString = client.execute(get, respHandler, cookieContext)
val list = parse(responseString).extract[Response]
list.response.foreach(println)
list.response
