Now this might be a lack of knowledge from my side, but here goes: HTTP in itself is a stateless protocol, and as such, to keep states across a session one needed to implement something to keep track of this state. And et' voila came the introduction of cookies, to store session information. But from what you just said, you say that isn't the case, and to be quite honest that confuses me. So if curl with cookies can't keep this state information, what can (and why can curl within PHP do this, and not curl from the command line?). -- Yours sincerely Jostein Elvaker Haande "A free society is a place where it is safe to be unpopular" - Adlai Stevenson http://tolecnal.net -- tolecnal at tolecnal dot net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
