Title: API requests requiring login and password
Post by: rjolda on July 01, 2024, 10:21:26 AM

HI,
NT 14.21  C11.0.136
I have a net talk server with an API method which requires a login and Password.
I have a NetWebClient talking to it.  It intermittently makes several requests to the server within a 2 minute span.
I have the First request of the NetWEbClient logging in ( successfully).
Question:
Do subsequent requests by the same Logged in Client need to have the authorization string included or is the Client get logged in once and then the session ID is remembered until the session times out?  If this is the case, then the authorization string needs to be included on only the first request ?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,

>> Do subsequent requests by the same Logged in Client need to have the authorization string included or is the Client get logged in once and then the session ID is remembered until the session times out? 

Depends. n your server implementation, and also whether the client is sending the session cookie or not.
It's possible to set it up either way.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Another dumb question... .how do I set up my server and API to make sure they are passing a cookie?
Thanks,
Ron
