Using HTTPtracer I found that when I access a NYTimes
page (which requires a logon password)the browser
sends the following (see below). Notice that the
cookie has its own line: it is not appended to the
address. The actual cookies are much longer, I just
shortened them to fit into the email. Others on the
list most likely can post a script that opens up the
socket and sends the cookie header along with the
other headers, then waits for a reply. But it doesn't
seem that the GET or POST that is built into Metacard
can do it.
