什么是wreq创建自定义cookie的方式？

Question

I want to make HTTP requests with some known cookie key-value pairs (eg k1=v1; k2=v2; ... ) using wreq , but can't find a convenient way of creating them.

Because Cookie has many fields, I'd prefer a smart constructor than having to fill all fields on my own.

By browsing documents, I find generateCookie to be the most promosing one (and that's also the only one I've found that returns a Cookie ): I can create SetCookie and all I need are just key value pairs. But we don't have a Request to feed it as the second argument. Using http-client alone, one can do parseUrl to create one. But in wreq I feel the author want to hide Request from user and I can't find a function that gives us direct access to it.

So my question is: are there better ways to create cookies in wreq than using Cookie constructor?

Answer 1

I'd probably fork the generateCookie implementation, as it looks like the Request argument is used only to validate the fields.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-client-0.4.26.2/docs/src/Network-HTTP-Client-Cookies.html#generateCookie , except for default cookie path, as SetCookie has Maybe path.
