Inet and cookies
Someone suggested that I use a WinInet API to achieve what I want, but I would like to know if it is possible to manipulate cookies using the basic Inet control.
Currently I use inet.openurl to open a URL which stores cookie data, and then use inet.getheader to retrieve the header information (what cookie data is being stored, among other things)...I now want to be able to use this data to access the site using that cookie. I am aware that the inet control *stores* the cookie data (well, windows does, it's part of the IE cookie data) but I want to be able to switch cookies quickly...maybe there's a way to clear IE cookies or set them or something?
Anyone got suggestions?
Well, everyone else has been doing it :-)

If I have helped you, RATE ME! :-)
I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!
And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.

Re: Inet and cookies
No-one got any ideas? I think I might actually go with cURL for this, as I have had experience with it and it is simple enough to manage cookies once you're aware of how it all works :-)
cURL is a useful alternative to the standard internet interfaces, and you can get info at curl.haxx.se (and they even have a libcurl DLL now, although I dunno how to use it :-))
I would *prefer* to use inet as it wouldn't require all the extra code

Re: Inet and cookies
Additional: I should have mentioned that it is *session* based cookies...they're not stored in the cookie folder, it seems...so it's actually a part of inet/webbrowser's memory or something
