Parameters

• var - the variable where the cookies will be stored.
• exclude - a list of cookie name(s) to exclude from this command.

Example

Script:

The above example performs the following steps:

1. Row 5-6: navigate to the intended website (denoted as ${website.url}) and login via WEB expression.
2. Row 7: save all the cookies set to browser at this point in time, which, in this case, also includes the web session cookies. Note that the _ga and _mkto_trk cookies (click tracker) are omitted.
3. Row 8: Before performing a web service call, HTTP request header must be properly set. Here we are setting the cookies saved from Row 7 to the HTTP request header cookie.
4. Row 9: Now it’s time to make the web service call. At this time, the HTTP request header has been set with the cookie information saved from Row 7.
5. Row 10-12: These steps validate that the web service call was invoked correctly and the response contains expected content (including the login username).
