Hello there! Indy has its own cookie manager and you should use that: TIdCookieManager (it's on the Indy Misc page); Once you hook it up to the HTTP component you've got nothing else to do, it just works. As for copying the cookie from Firefox... it might work, it might not work. It depends on how the cookie is constructed and how it is validated. It just might be easier to do the login from Delphi + Indy (this might also be more portable) - but you'd need a bit of HTML knowledge to do this! Not much knowledge (I did it once and I can't say I know HTML or JavaScript). -- Cosmin Prund _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
