<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Ralph,<br>
<br>
I succeeded partly with curl (and finally with Xymon's build in
http test). Partly because the login process I wanted to test
turned out to be a serie of redirects where different data is
created dynamically and transferred in hidden forms and tags. That
was the real problem, not the cookie. I content myself now with
checking the first part of this process, better than nothing.
Thank you for helping,<br>
<br>
kind regards<br>
Rolf<br>

<div dir="ltr">There are (at least) 2 ways to handle this:

</div>
<div style="">1) try "curl -o page.html <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://server.domain.com">http://server.domain.com</a>",
then look at page.html to see what it does, and work out
where to go from there.</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">2) there's a plugin for Firefox called
LiveHTTPheaders. That records all incoming and outgoing
headers when you go to a web page. That'll show what gets
sent back to the server after the initial page discovers that
cookies work.</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">It's possible that the initial page doesn't send
anything back. It may just give any error if setting a cookie
fails, rather than allowing you to continue. If so, you could
probably use Xymon's http test. </div>

<br>
I want to test login on an authentification form
with http. The requested url checks for the
acceptance of cookies. If cookies aren't
accepted an error message is returned even if
authentification is successful. There is no need
to transfer cookies contents, only xymon has to
to send the information "yes, cookies accepted"
with the http-test to the url. Is that possible?<br>
