Client-side cookie support is optional. To enable cookie support, compile all sources with option -DWITH_COOKIES, for example:
> c++ -DWITH_COOKIES -o myclient stdsoap2.cpp soapC.cpp soapClient.cpp
or add the following line to stdsoap.h:
#define WITH_COOKIES
Client-side cookie support is fully automatic. So just (re)compile stdsoap2.cpp with -DWITH_COOKIES to enable cookie-based session control in your client. A database of cookies is kept and returned to the appropriate servers. Cookies are not automatically saved to a file by a client. An example cookie file manager is included as an extras in the distribution. You should explicitly remove all cookies before terminating a gSOAP context by calling soap_free_cookies(soap) or by calling soap_done(soap). To avoid "cookie storms" caused by malicious servers that return an unreasonable amount of cookies, gSOAP clients/servers are restricted to a database size that the user can limit (32 cookies by default), for example:
