how to get cookies from jar

[ralyodio]

How do I get the cookies from the cookie jar?

jar.cookies is undefined

    var jar = request.jar()
    request = request.defaults({jar: jar });

I do it the "hacky" way, jar._jar.store.idx[validUrl]
Don't know what the right way to do this, but it works.

Looking at test-cookies.js it uses jar.getCookieString(validUrl) which seems to be the right way to get cookies (?) This depends on tough-cookie being installed.

tough-cookie is already part of request. You can access the cookie string (e.g. "TEST=1; SESSID=14;") via

var j = request.jar();
// ...
cookies = j.getCookieString(url); 

But I'd like a better way to parse them into objects. Doesn't seem too hard to parse them.

You'll want to use jar.getCookies()
Check out lib/cookies.js for more info about the RequestJar object.
