This may be something that was fixed in the upcoming 3.8. Here's what
happens when I do it, using the LWP::Simple module:
$ curl
'http://localhost/REST/1.0/search/ticket?query=id%3e1&user=root&pass=password'
RT/3.7.86 200 Ok
2: yoof
3: fooo
$ curl 'http://localhost/REST/1.0/ticket/1?user=root&pass=password'
RT/3.7.86 200 Ok
id: ticket/1
Queue: General
Owner: root
...
RT (though this may only be 3.8) does send a cookie if you send your
credentials this way, so you should be able to reuse that cookie from
the first request for the second request.
