as you can see the problem is with the web server, that does not return
a cookie (by means of the Set-Cookie header) to wget.
Yes, that's exactly the problem. Logging on with a standard browser
*does* return a cookie and successfully logs you on.
Trying the same with wget, the server does *not* return a cookie, but
instead returns message "Your browser cookies couldn't be recognized."
in the downloaded HTML.
Two questions:
1. Is there a way to trace the browser traffic and compare that to the
wget traffic, to see where they differ.
2. Do you have a working wget example for any publicly accessible
server, which uses POST and successfully returns a cookie?
Thanks!
