> Setting up a session-based login sequence requires a user to be able to
> uniquely describe a desired set of pages that set up cookies. Specifically,
> the pages must be one of the following types:
> - Containing a form of a specific name
> - Containing a link with a specific target
> - Containing a redirection with a specific target
> Modern login pages often contain many forms, however, and they can be
> generated by other software. In that case the forms often are identified by
> use of an "id" attribute rather than a "name".
> I've also seen situations where pages in login sequences are redirected
> through Javascript, and therefore it is difficult to write a rule that
> matches such pages, since there are no obvious links or forms either. It
> would be great to find a solution to that - maybe a lowest-priority "match
> everything" button selection would help.
