Cookie Corruption With Multiple Createhttpclient Titanium Calls

While creating an Android app in Appcelerator's Titanium that involves both webView and background calls, I ran into a problem / bug where the cookies were getting corrupted on mul

Solution 1:

The HTTPClient documentation says "object is intended to be used for a single request," so I assumed everything would reset after multiple calls. But something was different after the first call.

Adding loader.clearCookies(base_url); to the code before setting the cookies seems to fix the issue.

var loader = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();  
loader.open("GET",base_url + url); 
loader.onload = function() {
    // process response
}
loader.clearCookies(base_url); // THE FIX.
loader.setRequestHeader('Cookie',Titanium.App.Properties.getString("cookies"));
loader.send();
