Set cookie for a specific domain in PHPCrawl

I use PHPCrawl for crawl websites but now I want to add a cookie to specific domain, because this domain has a authentication and I want to get information in authorized pages.

How can I add a cookie to specific domain?

Solution

  • Finally I find a way to add cookie to an specific domain:

    I going to overload __construct in my own crawler class like this:

    class MyCrawler extends PHPCrawler 
{
    function __construct() { 
        parent::__construct();

        $s = new PHPCrawlerCookieDescriptor("localhost", "JSESSIONID", "DE7BCB89B0D5BB072357450F01415FAB");
        $f[] = $s;
        $this->PageRequest->addCookieDescriptors($f);
    }
}

    Now you should have a cookie with JSESSIONID name and DE7BCB89B0D5BB072357450F01415FAB for it's value.
