CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);

WebView wv=new WebView();
wv.load_uri("http://www.twitter.com");

how to allow cookies?

I read

CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);

But I can not find the right syntax

valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg webkit2gtk-4.0 wv.vala && ./wv wv.vala:25.2-25.26: error: The name 'getInstance' does not exist in the context of 'WebKit.CookieManager' CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);

For Gtk+ 3 and Webkit2Gtk-4.0, cookie acceptance/denial is controlled by the CookieManager which you can retrieve from the Webkit web context data manager.

Using your supplied code:

using Gtk;
using WebKit;

public int main (string[] args) { 
    Gtk.Window window;

    Gtk.init(ref args);

    window = new Gtk.Window();
    window.destroy.connect(Gtk.main_quit);

    WebView wv=new WebView();
    wv.get_context().get_cookie_manager ().set_accept_policy(CookieAcceptPolicy.ALWAYS);

    window.add(wv);
    window.show_all();

    //wv.load_uri("http://www.html-kit.com/tools/cookietester");
    wv.load_uri("http://www.whatarecookies.com/cookietest.asp");

    Gtk.main();

    return 0;
}

Verifying CookieAcceptPolicy with the supplied examples,

Setting accept always:

wv.get_context().get_cookie_manager ().set_accept_policy(CookieAcceptPolicy.ALWAYS);

A test site will reply with:

AcceptAlways

Setting accept never:

wv.get_context().get_cookie_manager ().set_accept_policy(CookieAcceptPolicy.NEVER);

A test site will reply with:

AcceptNever

EDIT:

Compile with:

valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg webkit2gtk-4.0 <your-filename.vala>
