Get objc_exception_throw when setting cookie with ASIHTTPRequest

Question

I got objc_exception_throw when trying to set cookies for a ASIHTTPRequest request. I tried both of these but it didn't work out.

ASIHTTPRequest *request = [[ASIHTTPRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];

NSMutableDictionary *properties = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

[properties setValue:@".google.com" forKey:@"Domain"];
[properties setValue:@"/" forKey:@"path"];
[properties setValue:@"1600000000" forKey:@"expires"];


NSHTTPCookie *cookie = [[NSHTTPCookie alloc] initWithProperties:properties];
[request setRequestCookies:[NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:cookie]];

or replacing initiating code for cookie with this one

NSHTTPCookie *cookie = [[NSHTTPCookie alloc] init];

When I commented out the following line, everything worked fine.

[request setRequestCookies:[NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:cookie]];

Can you guys tell me what the problem here!

Don't know if this is your problem or not, but you should be using the defined NSHTTPCookie property keys like NSHTTPCookieDomain instead of literal strings like @"Domain".

You might be able to get more information about what's going wrong by catching the exception and logging it. For example:

@try {
    [request setRequestCookies:[NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:cookie]];}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
    NSLog(@"Caught %@: %@", [exception name], [exception reason]);
}
@finally {
}
