Yes, when I ask for app/default/user/login?_next ... I use the
-SessionVariable dsvr (similar to the example page), being careful to use
one dash and no dollarsign.
Then for the various URLs I try when submitting the form, I use -WebSession
$dsvr.
When I ask PowerShell what the value of $dsvr is, I get
PS C:\Users\develop2> $dsvr
Headers : {}
Cookies : System.Net.CookieContainer
UseDefaultCredentials : False
Credentials :
Certificates :
UserAgent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT; Windows NT 10.0; en-US)
WindowsPowerShell/5.0.10586.0
Proxy :
MaximumRedirection : -1
PS C:\Users\develop2>
I must be missing something something in the cookie, because it doesn't
change when I submit the form. (I've answered part of my original question
by using a browser to log in, and looking at httpserver.log for the URL in
that POST submit. It goes back to app/user/login, but httpserver.log
doesn't show whether there were any tails to the URL ('#' or '?arg....').
