Update Cookies in Session Using python-requests Mo

问题:

I'm using python-requests module to handle oAuth request and response. I want to set received access_token (response content as dict) in requests.session.cookies object.

How can I update existing cookies of session with received response from server?

[EDIT]

self.session = requests.session(auth=self.auth_params)
resp = self.session.post(url, data=data, headers=self.headers)
content = resp.content

I want to do something like:

requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(self.session.cookies).update(content)

Here, requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(self.session.cookies) returns dict with one session key. Now, I want to update received response content in self.session.cookies.

requests can do that for you, provided you tell it all the requests you make are part of the same session:

>>> import requests
>>> s = requests.session()
>>> s.get('https://www.google.com')
<Response [200]>
>>> s.cookies
<<class 'requests.cookies.RequestsCookieJar'>[Cookie(version=0, name='NID'...

Subsequent requests made using s.get or s.post will re-use and update the cookies the server sent back to the client.

To add a Cookie on your own to a single request, you would simply add it via the cookies parameter.

>>> s.get('https://www.google.com', cookies = {'cookieKey':'cookieValue'})

Unless the server sends back a new value for the provided cookie, the session will not retain the provided cookie.

This code worked for me. hope it can help to someone else.

I want to update session.cookies variable with received response values from post request. so, same request value can be used in another post/get request.

here, what I did:

1) updated requests module to 1.0.3 version.

2) created 2 functions

   session = requests.session() 
   def set_SC(cookie_val):
            for k,v in cookie_dict.iteritems():
                if not isinstance(v, str):
                    cookie_dict[k] =  str(v) 
            requests.utils.add_dict_to_cookiejar(session.cookies,
                                                 cookie_val)

    def get_SC():
            return requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(session.cookies)

    In another function:
    setSC(response.content)

In order to provide a cookie yourself to the requests module you can use the cookies parameter for a single request and give it a cookie jar or dict like object containing the cookie(s).

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get('https://www.example.com', cookies {'cookieKey':'cookieValue'})

But if you want to retain the provided cookie without having to set the cookies parameter everytime, you can use a reqests session which you can also pass to other funtions so they can use and update the same cookies:

>>> session = requests.session()
>>> session.cookies.set('cookieKey', 'cookieName')
# In order to avoid cookie collisions
# and to only send cookies to the domain / path they belong to
# you have to provide these detail via additional parameters
>>> session.cookies.set('cookieKey', 'cookieName', path='/', domain='www.example.com')
