Download using Safari's cookies

[Tobias Weber]

Hi,
the httpclient library includes a custom file-based cookie storage.
I made a primitive drop-in replacement (myclient.cookie_manager =
NSCookieManager.new) that uses OS X' built-in jar.

It works for getting stuff from Safari, but new ones I save don't
propagate back there. Probably to do with the AcceptPolicy.

Anyway I thought I'd share it. The author's email is well hidden, so he
probably doesn't like to be contacted. And I'm too lazy to create yet
another Trac account. So see below.

require 'osx/cocoa'

class NSCookieManager
attr_accessor :cookies_file

def initialize(file = nil)
@cookies_file = file
@jar = OSX::NSHTTPCookieStorage.sharedHTTPCookieStorage
end

def load_cookies
end

def save_cookies(force = nil)
end

def find(url)
u = OSX::NSURL.URLWithString url.to_s
a = @jar.cookiesForURL u
d = OSX::NSHTTPCookie.requestHeaderFieldsWithCookies a
return d["Cookie"]
end

def parse(str, url)
u = OSX::NSURL.URLWithString url.to_s
d = {"Set-Cookie" => str}
a = OSX::NSHTTPCookie.cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields_forURL(d, u)
@jar.setCookie a.shift
raise unless a.empty?
end
end
