Saving cookies?

I was wondering how to save a cookie in Xcode. I would like to use the cookie I get from one webpage and use it to access another. I use the code below to login into the website and I would like to save a cookie I get from this connection to use it when I make another connection.

NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"some data", _username, _password ];
//    NSLog(@"%@",post);
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];

NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu", (unsigned long)[postData length]];

NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:@"url"];

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];

NSData *urlData;
NSHTTPURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;
urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];

Update: Thanks to iOS Dev I was able to get the cookies. The code below is a for loop to nslog all the cookies name, domain, value. To help see all the cookies you currently have stored.

NSArray *cookies = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookies];
for (int i = 0; i < [cookies count]; i++) {
    NSHTTPCookie *cookie = [cookies objectAtIndex:i];
    NSLog(@"Cookie Name: %@", [cookie name]);
    NSLog(@"Cookie Domain: %@", [cookie domain]);
    NSLog(@"Cookie Value: %@", [cookie value]);
}

When you get a response back the updated cookies will be available in NSHttpCookieStorage single ton.

You can access it by

NSArray *cookies = [[[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookies]
