Can Delphi set session data in opening a webpage?

[PiedSoftware 3]

Hi

 

This is a preliminary question. We have some functionality on the web and want to be able to set log-on to the web page from the Delphi app, without the log-in credentials being stored by the browser app.

Any idea?

Normally Sessiondata is stored in cookies and yes you can handle them with delphi

Whether the credentials will be saved (or updated) in the browser app is typically a user choice, presented after the login data is entered. Unless this feature is disabled completely.

 

Can you give more information about environment / use case / functional requirements?

Thanks, microtronix. Are you saying that from Delphi you can open a web page with cookies set in the code, and those cookies are not stored on the filesystem of the client?

Yes, look at tidHTTP and its CookieManager property (tidCookieManager). I think there are some examples out there.
