Indy Http cookies ?

I need some one to write me some example to use cookies with indy http control.

Example:
- send post request to site
- accept cookies from site
- make another post request and send cookie from first request

Thank you !

It is not useful to me because it is using TIdCookieManager. I need example of code that uses TIdHTTP.AllowCookies and TIdHTTP.CookieManager for delphi 8

what type is TIdHTTP.CookieManager in delphi 8? isn't it of type TIdCookieManager? because if I am correct, delphi 8 would have indy 10 which I believe still has TIdCookieManager. of course it's been some time since I last worked with indy 10 (was too buggy at the time) and I am still on indy 9.

I have find how to set cookie

idHTTP1.CookieManager.AddCookie('test=bla', 'localhost');

Now i need example how to get cookies.

you did not answer my question. is idHTTP1.CookieManager of type TIdCookieManager or not? if not, what type is it? because I believe it is. in which case my examples apply maybe with some small modifications.

I thin i solved the problem, i only need to do:
IdHTTP1.CookieManager.CookieCollection.Count;

and cookies will be set in new request.

just reading that property made it send the cookies at new request? that is pretty weird. guess I'll have to install indy 10 sometime and check out the behaviour myself.
