Apache::Test

[Mike Blackwell <Mi...@MooreWallace.com>]

Does anyone have an example of using Apache::Test to test a web site
that uses cookies?  

I'm having trouble with a page which does a redirect with a cookie.  LWP
shows the redirect happening, and that it received a cookie, but it does
not appear to be sending the cookie back out.

Any ideas on how to persue this are welcome.

Thanks.

Because you probably need to code that (to read and add a cookie). I suppose 
that you are talking about the client side of the script, right? So you just 
add this header, once you have the cookie extracted, e.g.

my $res = POST_BODY $location,
     content => $content,
     cookie  => $cookie;

A quick google search comes with several resources that you may find useful to 
manipulate cookie jars:

http://perldoc.trustno1.net/new/site_perl/5.8.0/HTTP/Cookies.html
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col32.html

Once you figure it all out, if you can submit an addition for the testing 
tutorial (http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html) that would 
be very helpful for others
