I am using Provider-Hosted App. I want to get version collection of list item, for that just tried to access using list.asmx service. To call this SP service, have to pass cookie(FedAuth and rtFa). but i have only accesstoken with me, is any way to get cookie of the current logged in user?

What I have tried:

I have tried to call list.asmx service using HttpWebRequest with access token, it throws 401 exception. it ask for either cookie or credentials. (user already logged in the SharePoint site in browser, so i could not ask user to give credentials for this). so my better option to go with cookie.

Hi Just for clarity, with remote API s available , Can't u just call the API instead of using webrequests?

like below
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);

using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPAppWeb())
{
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

ListCollection lists = web.Lists;
clientContext.Load<listcollection>(lists);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
}
