I am doing the yahoo session login with firefox, not with wget, so I'm using the first and easier of your two suggested methods. I'm guessing you are thinking that I'm trying to login to the yahoo session with wget, and thus --keep-session-cookies and --save-cookies=<foo.txt> would make perfect sense to me, but that's not what I'm doing (yet -- if I'm right about what's happening here, I'm going to have to resort to this). But using firefox to initiate the session, it looks to me like wget never gets to see the session cookies because I don't think firefox writes them to its cookie file (which actually makes sense -- if they only need to live as long as the session, why write them out?). /Don > > > - -- > Micah J.
