Thanks Barret,
I'm very confused about the cookie file behavior. I tried to simplify it
as much as possible and found this:
$ rbt post 814
will write a new cookie file with a session id, but calling rbt from a
python script in any of these ways:
subprocess.call("rbt post 814", shel=True)
subprocess.call(['rbt', 'post', '814'])
or even
os.system("rbt post 814")
writes a cookie file with just the header and no session id. I'm baffled.
How are others calling rbt from python scripts and getting authentication
to work?
