Set cookie for request in CasperJS

Question

I want to load a page using CapserJS, but how can I send cookie which was exported from chrome's http request header at that page?

Such as:

"SUB=_2AkMjHt3gf8NhqwJRmPkQzG_qZIp_yA3EiebDAHzsJxJTHmMJ7IUyLkMN2K7WzRJvm-Tv3YY0xyZo; SUBP=0033WrSXqPxfM72-Ws9jqgMF55529P9D9WhCT_2hbJ1W1Cc4xfF-mFPo;"

Answer 1

You could try to set the cookie headers directly like this:

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

Answer 2

There are multiple ways, but the easiest would be to use the page.addCookie or phantom.addCookie functions which PhantomJS provides, but you would have to set the domain (and path). Keep in mind that page.addCookie has to be done on a loaded page whereas phantom.addCookie can be done before.

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();
