Business value

In scenarios where third-party HTTP endpoints require cookie customization, this can now be built into Business Central apps and extensions.

Feature details

We're adding official support for cookies to the HttpClient datatype. This allows AL developers to efficiently send and receive cookies when sending HTTP requests.

A new Cookie datatype has been introduced, as well as several AL interfaces to handle cookies:

  • UseResponseCookies AL interface to the HttpClient data type enabling and disabling caching for server cookies.
  • Cookie data type representing a cookie object.
  • AL interfaces to retrieve cookies from an HttpResponseMessage.
  • AL interfaces to retrieve, add to, and remove cookies from an HttpRequestMessage.

Developers can choose to automatically reuse response cookies, handle cookies manually, or a mix of both.
