Monitoring Cookie Changes

Hi,

Is it possible to monitor cookie/session changes across all tabs, such that if a cookie/session changed an event can be triggered?

Kind regards,

Hi Mazen,

There is not such event in the IE object model. Please try to use the http://www.add-in-express.com/files/howtos/cs/HttpMonitor.zip to see what cookies are sent/received by IE.

Hi Sergey, and thank you for your response.

I tried first running the example but the addon will not show up (I am using IE 10), then I tried to follow the same method for capturing the cookies (and much about every request) but it didn't work either. Following are details:

  • I created an IEModule (AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEModule) that contains an IEToolbar (AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEToolbar)
  • I created the following events on the IE module that, once fired, will show a message box:
  • - OnReportProgress
  • - OnResponse


However, no matter what requests I do (even when I set cookies through login), the message box will not show up. Do you have any other suggestion?

Hi Mazen,

Please set the 'HandleHTTPNegotiations' property of the iemodule to true and rebuild the project.

Dear Sergey,

Thank you for keeping up. This solved the problem.

However, I need to capture cookies that are sent along with XMLHttpRequests, but I couldn't capture those requests with OnReportProgress event to begin with (I tried a bunch of other events as well). Do you know any way around it?

Kind Regards,

Hi Mazen,

I think that you need to create and register your own HTTP protocol handler (MIME filter). But Add-in Express doesn't provide such a feature at the moment.

Dear Sergey,

Can I request this feature to be implemented? Our application cannot work unless we were able to capture XHR cookies/sessions.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I wonder if implementing this feature would be feasible.

Kind Regards,

Hello Mazen,

This feature isn't planned yet. In any case, this will not be developed this year.
