Syntax

infos = matlab.net.http.CookieInfo.collectFromLog(history)

Description

infos = matlab.net.http.CookieInfo.collectFromLog(history) returns CookieInfo objects for all the valid cookies found in the Set-Cookie header fields of the response message history. Use collectFromLog to obtain the latest cookies from a history of messages, such as those exchanged during a transaction involving authentication or redirection. If a server sends multiple versions of the same cookie, then collectFromLog returns only the most recent. This method also eliminates cookies that might not be valid for the URI of the server, that is, whose Domain is inconsistent with the request URI.
