How to use Session ID info to send sequent requests to Https Server ?

Question

Hey , Gurus!
Another problem for your talents :
By using InputStream , I gain all info sent back from the Https server . And Session ID info is included , such as
Session ID: {130, 17, 0, 0, 130, 170, 25, 235, 97, 13, 66, 95, 24, 241, 214, 8, 121, 216, 121, 64, 168, 15, 69, 65, 191, 192, 216, 68, 247, 130, 9, 164}
How do I use this info in my Java Application to send next request to the Https Server ?
Should I change the above Session ID info into another format ?
Should I include the converted info in the Request Header or the Body ?
Would you please give me an example ?
Thanks a lot ...
Have a nice day !

Hi,
You have to catpture the "set-cookie" header from the response which you got in the first request. The same "set-cookie" value has to be set in the subsequent requests' header. Please see the below code snippet to collect the "set-cookie" and set the cookie in the subsequest requests.
//how to Collect the "set-cookie" from the response
if (urlConnection != null)
for (int i = 1;(key = urlConnection.getHeaderFieldKey(i)) != null; i++)
System.out.println(urlConnection1.getHeaderFieldKey(i) + ": " + urlConnection.getHeaderField(key));
if (key.equalsIgnoreCase("set-cookie"))
String cookiValue = urlConnection1.getHeaderField(key);
//How to set the cookie value in the subsequent requests
urlConnection2.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookiValue);
Good luck.
