Summary

Implements automatic cookie extraction from responses and persist to local storage in Hoppscotch desktop app, enabling seamless handling of HTTP cookies across requests with persistent storage. Cookies received from API responses are automatically captured, stored in local storage, and reused in subsequent requests to matching domains, eliminating the need for manual cookie management and address the real user pain point.

Why should this be worked on?

Currently, users need to manually copy cookies from response headers and add them to subsequent requests when testing APIs that require session management. This creates friction in testing multi-step authentication flows and session-based APIs.
