@ -48,12 +48,24 @@ Request objects
``headers`` is a multi-valued dict containing the headers of this request
``cookies`` is a dict containing the request cookies, and will be preserved
for the rest of the domain crawl, like any browser would do. Example::
``cookies`` is a dict containing the request cookies. Example::
request_with_cookies = Request(url="http://www.example.com",
cookies={currency: 'USD', country: 'UY'})
When some site returns cookies (in a response) those are stored in the
cookies for that domain and will be sent again in future Requests. That's
the typical behaviour of any regular web browser. However, if, for some
reason, you want to avoid merging with existing cookies you can instruct
Scrapy to do so by setting the ``dont_merge_cookies`` item in the
Request.meta.
Example of request without merging cookies::
request_with_cookies = Request(url="http://www.example.com",
cookies={currency: 'USD', country: 'UY'},
meta={'dont_merge_cookies': True})
``encoding`` is a string with the encoding of this request. This encoding
will be used to percent-encode the URL and to convert the body to str (when
given as unicode).
