Save and send cookie after HTTP request - ios

Question

I'm login through an API using a POST request with URLRequest and URLSession. Everything seems to work well since I receive the correct response from the API.
Then I want to send a GET request to the same API but it seems that I'm not connected anymore.
For what I saw, the API is sending a Cookie in its Header in that form :
Cookie:PHPSESSID=abc123
I guess the problem is coming from that cookie wich is not send when I do a GET Request.
Here is my code.
ViewController :
#IBAction func Connection(_ sender: AnyObject) {
let loginFunc = Login()
loginFunc.login(username: username.text!, password: password.text!) { jsonString in
let response = jsonString
print(response)
}
let get = GetRequest()
get.get(req: "patient/info") { jsonString in
let response = jsonString
print(response)
}
}
Login.swift :
class Login {
func login(username: String, password: String, completion: #escaping (String) -> ()) {
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "http://myurl/web/app_dev.php/login_check")!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
let postString = "_username=" + username + "&_password=" + password
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8)
var responseString = ""
let mysession = URLSession.init(configuration: config)
let task = mysession.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode != 200 { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
}
responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!
let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
let field = httpResponse.allHeaderFields["Cookie"]
print(field)
print(type(of: response))
completion(responseString)
}
task.resume()
}
}
GetRequest.swift :
class GetRequest {
func get(req: String, completion: #escaping (String) -> ()) {
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "http://myurl/web/app_dev.php/" + req)!)
request.httpMethod = "GET"
var responseString = ""
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode != 200 { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
}
responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!
print(responseString)
completion(responseString)
}
task.resume()
}
}

Hey for sending cookies along with your ajax request please use. You need to use withCredentials to true.
$.ajaxSetup({
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json',
async: true,
cache: false,
processData: false,
crossDomain: true,
xhrFields: {
withCredentials: true
}
});
