Set cookie for request in CasperJS

Question

I want to load a page using CapserJS, but how can I send a cookie that was exported from the chrome http request header on this page?

For instance:

"SUB = _2AkMjHt3gf8NhqwJRmPkQzG_qZIp_yA3EiebDAHzsJxJTHmMJ7IUyLkMN2K7WzRJvm-Tv3YY0xyZo; SUBP = 0033WrSXqPxfM72-Wf9jcj9jc1fcjf1fc2f1fc2fcfcfcfcfcfcfcfcfcfcfcfcdc

Answer 1

There are several ways, but the easiest way is to use page.addCookie or phantom.addCookie that PhantomJS provides, but you will need to set the domain (and path). Keep in mind that page.addCookie must be executed on the loaded page, whereas phantom.addCookie may be executed earlier.

 var cookie = "someCookieName=Value; otherName=Value"; var domain = "example.com"; cookie.split(";").forEach(function(pair){ pair = pair.split("="); phantom.addCookie({ 'name': pair[0], 'value': pair[1], 'domain': domain }); }); casper.start("http://example.com", function(){ // check that cookie was indeed set: this.capture("screen.png"); }).run(); 

Answer 2

You can try setting your cookie headers as follows:

 casper.start().thenOpen('http://yoururl', { headers:{ "Cookie" : "CookieName=cookieValue" } }, function() { // ... });
