Sorry for that, I just hit the answere button in my mail client, and I don't use mailing lists that often.

With InternetGetCookieEx you can specify an URL and a cookie name and a flag if it should also return HTTPOnly cookies, and it will return the appropriate cookie value from the cookie store as it would be sent to the specified URL when a request would be issued.

When I peform a request with cURL and the server responds with a Set-Cookie instruction, the cookie will be put into the CURLSH's cookie store. And after this I would like to read a specific cookie matching the respective URL (and path).

With the currently available API I could either catch the Set-Cookie headers, or use CURLINFO_COOKIELIST and check if the cookies matches the given URL, path, etc. (removeexpired, tailmatch, pathmatch, ..).

For security and maintenance reasons it just would be nice to have one single code for that.

Regards,

Dominik
