I'd second that - I'm doing about 1500 tests spread over about 600 hosts,
all using curl with cookies, though I generally delete the cookie file at
the top of the script to avoid "open session" confusion.  There's no reason
not to keep on using the same cookie file, though.  Something like:

   curl -s -S -L -b cookiejar -c cookiejar -o file.html
http://server.domain.com

may be all you need.
