Sessions are consumed by API endpoints via one of:

  • HTTP Cookie (vim25 for example)
  • HTTP Header (vmodl2 /rest and /api)
  • SOAP Header (pbm, vslm, sms for example)

The soap.Client had always set the SOAP Header cookie regardless if consumed by an API endpoint.
Clients must now opt-in to this behavior if they need it, such as pbm and vslm.

This also allows clients to change the name of soap.Header.Cookie (default is still "vcSessionCookie")

vcsim: add override mechanism for session mapping

On the simulator side, API endpoints can specify where a session is sourced from. Default is still the "vmware_soap_session" HTTP Cookie. The pbm simulator now specifies the "vcSessionCookie" SOAP Header, behaving as real pbm/VC does.

In 1918984 / PR vmware#3636 we deferred the http.CookieJar lookup
until request time. Fallback to using Path="/" if initial lookup fails.
