> The protocol-httpclient plugin supports HTTP form authentication with form values post back to the assigned login URL and store the session cookie for following content retrieving.
> The httpclient default CookiePolicy setting is in use. This default setting will reject cookie has domain set starting as ".", for example domain=".domain.com". This kind of domain value could be accepted by most web browsers. 
> I suggest to add an configurable option in conf/httpclient-auth.xml:
> {code:xml}<credentials authMethod="formMethod" ...>
> ...
>   <loginCookie>
>     <policy>DEFAULT | BROWSER_COMPATIBILITY | NETSCAPE RFC_2109 | RFC_2965</policy>
>   </loginCookie>
> </credentials>{code}
> Then, the httpclient could take this Cookie policy value.
> I am working on a patch for this feature. But before i implement the configuration format change, i would like to hear any other suggestions or comments.
