The problem is that I'm trying to use it on non-LWP generated web-pages. I was playing
with the HTTP-Webtest module and the Monkeywrench module to build a test-suite for
some web-application that I've built. It uses META-style cookies only, without copying
them into the headers. Both HTTP-Webtest and Monkeywrench use libwww to parse the
results of their queries and hence don't understand this. I imagine there may be more
websites that do this - and as far as I know Apache isn't smart enough to generate
proper cookie headers from the META-style cookies.
All your comments about the patch are very valid. I need to brush up my Perl coding
style.
So what now? I think there may be a need for HTTP::Cookie to understand raw META-style
cookies - at least I could use that...
Bye for now,
Ward.
