https authentication

Hi Patrick,

I have a question regarding the https authentication where the response type is cookie

Does roku support cookies?

I am getting following failure reason "necessary data rewind wasn't possible" when tried to do the PostFromStringWithTimeout.

Thanks,
-Arul

Re: https authentication

We do not have direct support for cookies. The roUrlTransfer object does allow you to get and set the HTTP headers yourself though... So your app could work with sites requiring cookies by manipulating the Set-Cookie: and Cookie: headers in your app.
