如何在WinRT WebView中使会话保持活动状态

Question

I am using the following code share the cookie between HttpClient and WebView in WinRT

var pageUri = new Uri(TargetPage);

var filter = new Windows.Web.Http.Filters.HttpBaseProtocolFilter();
var cookie = new Windows.Web.Http.HttpCookie("key", pageUri.Host,    pageUri.LocalPath);
cookie.Value = "value";
filter.CookieManager.SetCookie(cookie, false);

  var request = new  Windows.Web.Http.HttpRequestMessage(Windows.Web.Http.HttpMethod.Post, loginUri);
  webView.NavigateWithHttpRequestMessage(request);

I am using this code to bypass login request in Web browser. But here the issue is after 5 minutes the cookie get expires and It again ask for credential for proceeding further. So my doubt is,

Is there any tweak available to make this browser alive with the cookie / Session . May be like injecting some Java Script code to browser or something similar to this.

I am currently sending WebRequest to authenticate again using DispatureTimer with interval of 5 minutes and refreshes the cookie again and again. I don't feel it as a good workaround to this issue. Because it consumes un-wanted data and battery usage.

So anyone please help me to find a workaround to solve this issue.

You're already doing the right thing with the DispatchTimer. I don't know why you feel that it's incorrect, especially since you're already kind of hacking the website by hosting it in a webview.
