cookie机制采用的是在客户端保持 HTTP 状态信息的方案
Cookie是在浏览器访问WEB服务器的某个资源时,由WEB服务器在HTTP响应消息头中附带传送给浏览器的一个小文本文件。
一旦WEB浏览器保存了某个Cookie,那么它在以后每次访问该WEB服务器时,都会在HTTP请求头中将这个Cookie回传给WEB服务器。
底层的实现原理: WEB服务器通过在HTTP响应消息中增加Set-Cookie响应头字段将Cookie信息发送给浏览器,浏览器则通过在HTTP请求消息中增加Cookie请求头字段将Cookie回传给WEB服务器。
一个Cookie只能标识一种信息,它至少含有一个标识该信息的名称(NAME)和设置值(VALUE)。
一个WEB站点可以给一个WEB浏览器发送多个Cookie,一个WEB浏览器也可以存储多个WEB站点提供的Cookie。
浏览器一般只允许存放300个Cookie,每个站点最多存放20个Cookie,每个Cookie的大小限制为4KB。
开启cookie支持
useCookiePersistence= yes。默认是开启的
如果 useCookiePersistence= yes,在- (void)readResponseHeaders 方法中有这么一段,在Response后创建并存储cookie
// Handle cookies NSArray *newCookies = [NSHTTPCookie cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields:[self responseHeaders] forURL:[self url]]; [self setResponseCookies:newCookies]; if ([self useCookiePersistence]) { // Store cookies in global persistent store [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookies:newCookies forURL:[self url] mainDocumentURL:nil]; // We also keep any cookies in the sessionCookies array, so that we have a reference to them if we need to remove them later NSHTTPCookie *cookie; for (cookie in newCookies) { [ASIHTTPRequest addSessionCookie:cookie]; } }
cookie信息被存储在NSHTTPCookieStorage中。
具体cookie相关的方法如下:
+ (NSMutableArray *)sessionCookies { if (!sessionCookies) { [ASIHTTPRequest setSessionCookies:[[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease]]; } return sessionCookies; }
+ (void)setSessionCookies:(NSMutableArray *)newSessionCookies { [sessionCookiesLock lock]; // Remove existing cookies from the persistent store for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in sessionCookies) { [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] deleteCookie:cookie]; } [sessionCookies release]; sessionCookies = [newSessionCookies retain]; [sessionCookiesLock unlock]; }
+ (void)addSessionCookie:(NSHTTPCookie *)newCookie { [sessionCookiesLock lock]; NSHTTPCookie *cookie; NSUInteger i; NSUInteger max = [[ASIHTTPRequest sessionCookies] count]; for (i=0; i<max; i++) { cookie = [[ASIHTTPRequest sessionCookies] objectAtIndex:i]; if ([[cookie domain] isEqualToString:[newCookie domain]] && [[cookie path] isEqualToString:[newCookie path]] && [[cookie name] isEqualToString:[newCookie name]]) { [[ASIHTTPRequest sessionCookies] removeObjectAtIndex:i]; break; } } [[ASIHTTPRequest sessionCookies] addObject:newCookie]; [sessionCookiesLock unlock]; }
// Dump all session data (authentication and cookies) + (void)clearSession { [sessionCredentialsLock lock]; [[[self class] sessionCredentialsStore] removeAllObjects]; [sessionCredentialsLock unlock]; [[self class] setSessionCookies:nil]; [[[self class] defaultCache] clearCachedResponsesForStoragePolicy:ASICacheForSessionDurationCacheStoragePolicy]; }
在request head 中添加cookie信息的方法
- (void)applyCookieHeader { // Add cookies from the persistent (mac os global) store if ([self useCookiePersistence]) { NSArray *cookies = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookiesForURL:[[self url] absoluteURL]]; if (cookies) { [[self requestCookies] addObjectsFromArray:cookies]; } } // Apply request cookies NSArray *cookies; if ([self mainRequest]) { cookies = [[self mainRequest] requestCookies]; } else { cookies = [self requestCookies]; } if ([cookies count] > 0) { NSHTTPCookie *cookie; NSString *cookieHeader = nil; for (cookie in cookies) { if (!cookieHeader) { cookieHeader = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@=%@",[cookie name],[cookie value]]; } else { cookieHeader = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@; %@=%@",cookieHeader,[cookie name],[cookie value]]; } } if (cookieHeader) { [self addRequestHeader:@"Cookie" value:cookieHeader]; } } }
这里的cookie为什么是个NSArray呢???难道会有多个cookie
