How do I Set/Read cookies with Client side App

[randall2nd]

With a client side application I need to set and read a cookie that a web page will then be able to read.

I have a client side application built in Delphi 7 that makes a post to a web server. I got that working.

Now I have been tasked with a sort of single sign on. If the user opens the client side application, they should be prompted with a login form. I am supposed to authenticate them against the web server, and if verrified then set a cookie. So that when they open a web page on the server they will not be prompted to login again. I will also need to be able to read in the cookie with the client side application.

any help appreciated. Randall2nd

If you don't mind using an external library,
this one can handle cookies, authentication,
http/post, and even SSL...
