I am using BaseX to scrape data from a web site. This web site, probably like many other websites, relies on cookies and if it does not receive the expected cookies it delivers a page instructing you to enable cookies in your browser. I was able to get this working by parsing the http:header response to get the cookies to use in subsequent requests. This is the second time I've done this, and even though this works it seems a bit hacky. Is there a standard way of handling cookies using the HTTP Module or the Fetch module? Or, are there any well written code examples available?
In other environments typically you define a cookie jar in some way, and the cookie jar is used (and is updated) automatically in all subsequent HTTP requests. I'm hoping to find something similar in BaseX.
Thanks, Vincent
