title: How to send a cookie along with HttpGet in Java
body: <p>I am trying to send a cookie along with my HttpGet request, but everytime I try I havent been able to successfully send it.   I also tried to modify the headers directly, here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();  
  
  CookieStore store = new BasicCookieStore();
  store.addCookie(MyCookieStorageClass.getCookie());
  httpClient.setCookieStore(store);
  
  HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("http://localhost/);     
  
  try {
      // Execute HTTP Get Request  
      HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpGet);  
      String responseData = ResponseHandler.getResponseBody(response);
  } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
  </code></pre>
