Yes, and I understood this; the thing is, that if session cookies are involved (i.e., cookies that are marked for immediate expiration and are not meant to be saved to the cookies file), then I don't see how you have much choice other than to use the "harder" method, or else to fake the session cookies by manually inserting them to your cookies file or whatnot (not sure how well that may be expected to work). Or, yeah, add an explicit --header 'Cookie: ...'. - -- Micah J. Cowan Programmer, musician, typesetting enthusiast, gamer.
