How to "flush" Objective-C HTTP session IDs? (Force logout from tumblr)

Question

I made a Tumblr Oauth API, and implemented an unlink function for the user. The only problem that Tumblr still remain logged in.

I want to reset the session somehow. I've heard that session IDs are handled somewhere automatically by Cocoa.

Answer 1

Chances are the session id is stored in a cookie. Use NSHTTPCookieStorage class to remove it:

    [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] deleteCookie:cookie];

You can find the cookie for the session id by using

    NSArray *allCookies = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookies];

and iterating the allCookies array looking for the matching domain and path values.
