Yeah!
Thanks to Roland Weber. This is a recap of the problem for the archive.
Using HttpClient 3.0rc3, I was having discrepancies between a live
session using cookies and the same session ran by httpclient. After
weeks of attempts I finally used TCPDUMP to compare the results of the
two different sessions. What I found was that the browser session was
sending cookies as:
Cookie: id=bmedia; pw=solutions; listing_search=; listing_keyword=;
and httpClient was sending them as:
Cookie: $Version=0; id=bmedia
Cookie: $Version=0; pw=solutions
Cookie: $Version=0; listing_search=
Cookie: $Version=0; listing_keyword=
Cookie: $Version=0; listing_pagenum=1
Now, according to Roland, this complies to spec, but not all cgi
programs are smart enough to handle it.
To fix my problem, I added the following line of code to my program:
HttpClientParams parms=Client.getParams().setBooleanParameter(
HttpMethodParams.SINGLE_COOKIE_HEADER, true);
Everything now works perfectly.
Thanks to Mike and everyone else who helped!
