Cookies don't seem to be persisting across requests about got HOT 8 CLOSED

@sbrl got does not have cookie support out-of-the-box, but it can be easly achieved with cookie module:

let got = require('got');
let cookie = require('cookie');

got('google.com', {
    headers: {
        cookie: cookie.serialize('foo', 'bar')
    }
});

Ok, Thanks! I was hoping that there would be built in support. I'll see what I can do. The problem is that I need to make multiple different requests and save the cookie state after each one in order to login to a particular online service :/

@sbrl I'd recommend make all requests to this service through new module (like gh-got or vk-got) and add default jar storage into it.

Default jar storage? What's that?

from got.

@sbrl shared instance of tough-cookie for example.

@floatdrop Right. I don't understand how I can pass a default jar into a gh-got or vk-got instance without doing it manually - in which case I should use vanilla got instead. Sorry for all the questions :(

from got.

Bloated request has built-in cookie jar support.

This thread doesn't answer the question how to use tough-cookie with got, e.g. How will the redirects be handled?
