Getting authentication token after a HttpSendRequest

The following code will log in my application to a server. That server will return an authentication token if the login is successful. I need to use that token to query the server for information.

  egressMsg := pchar('email='+LabeledEdit1.text+'&&password='+MaskEdit1.Text+#0);
  egressMsg64 := pchar(Encode64(egressMsg));

  Reserved := 0;

  // open connection
    hInternetConn := InternetOpen('MyApp', INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NIL, NIL, 0);

  if hInternetConn = NIL then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Error opening internet connection');
    exit;
  end;

  // connect
 开发者_运维百科 hHttpSession := InternetConnect(hInternetConn, 'myserver.com',
    INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT, '', '', INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP, 0, 0);

  if hHttpSession = NIL then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Error connecting');
    exit;
  end;

  // send request
  hHttpRequest := HttpOpenRequest(hHttpSession, 'POST',
      '/myapp/login', NIL, NIL, NIL, 0, 0);

  if hHttpRequest = NIL then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Error opening request');
    exit;
  end;

  label2.caption := egressMsg64 + '    '+inttostr(length(egressMsg64));
  res := HttpSendRequest(hHttpRequest, Nil,
        DWORD(-1), egressMsg64, length(egressMsg64));

  if not res then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Error sending request ' + inttostr(GetLastError));
    exit;
  end;

  BufferSize := Length(infoBuffer);

  res := HttpQueryInfo(hHttpRequest, HTTP_QUERY_STATUS_CODE, @infoBuffer, BufferSize, Reserved);

  if not res then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Error querying request ' + inttostr(GetLastError));
    exit;
  end;

  reply := infoBuffer;
  Memo1.Lines.Add(reply);

  if reply <> '200' then
  begin
    //error here
  end;

  // how to I get the token here!!!!

  InternetCloseHandle(hHttpRequest);
  InternetCloseHandle(hHttpSession);        
  InternetCloseHandle(hInternetConn);

How do I get that token? I tried querying the cookie, I tried InternetGetCookie() and a lot more. Code is appreciated

Thanks

EDIT

I found that if you use InternetReadFile you can get that token. However that token comes out as an array of bytes. It's hard to use it later to send it to the server... anyone knows how to convert an array of bytes to pchar or string?

Shouldn't that be 'Chr(token2[i-1])' for normal zero based arrays?

Alternatively, assuming a non-unicode Delphi, you could use:

SetLength(strtoken, Reserved2);
CopyMemory(@strtoken[1], @token2[0], Reserved2);

NB: This will break in Unicode Delphi unless you declare strtoken as AnsiString
For a Unicode aware Delphi use TEncoding.ASCII.GetString

here it is:

  if not InternetReadFile(hHttpRequest, @token2, sizeof(token2), Reserved2) then
    Memo1.Lines.Add('error = ' + inttostr(GetLastError))
  else
  begin
    for i:=1 to Reserved2 do
      strtoken := strtoken + Chr(token2[i]);

    Memo1.Lines.Add('token = '+strtoken);
    Memo1.Lines.Add('recevied = '+inttostr(Reserved2));
  end;

token2 is an array of bytes.
