ios - Set NSHTTPCookieExpires manually -

i want set nshttpcookie in nshttpcookiestorage.

for doing that, creating cookie & adding nshttpcookiestorage shown below:-

nsdictionary *propertiesdevice = [nsdictionary dictionarywithobjectsandkeys: @"http://www.sample.com/", nshttpcookiedomain, @"/", nshttpcookiepath, @"somecookiename", nshttpcookiename, @"mycookievalue", nshttpcookievalue, timestamp,nshttpcookieexpires,nil]; nshttpcookie *cookiedevice = [nshttpcookie cookiewithproperties:propertiesdevice]; [[nshttpcookiestorage sharedhttpcookiestorage]setcookie:cookiedevice];

all properties of nshttpcookie sets expected, apart nshttpcookieexpires.

if pass [nsdate date], value set. problem is not in desired nshttpcookie format of expires=tue, 15-jan-2013 21:47:38 gmt. format of [nsdate date] 2014-06-19 12:04:00 +0000. when seek alter format of nsdate using nsdateformatter, output nsstring. the problem no matter nsstring set nshttpcookieexpires key, takes null value.

though in documentation says nshttpcookieexpires takes nsstring or nsdate.

apple doc:- <td>nshttpcookieexpires</td> <td>nsdate or nsstring</td> <td>no</td> <td>expiration date cookie. used version 0 cookies. ignored version 1 or greater.</td>

does have thought why not able set nsstring value key nshttpcookieexpires?

in case wasn't working because cloning existing cookie , nshttpcookiediscard defined there.

removing solved problem.

there other rules can create expiration date nil, if set valid nsdate or nsstring.
