Just wanted to point out that Hobbit does support sending cookies with a request - see the bbtest-net man-page; you drop the cookies into a Netscape-cookie-format file in ~/server/etc/cookies, and they are sent with any requests. However, requiring a cookie for a "one-shot" test which is what Hobbit does - it doesn't follow redirects - really does not make much sense, unless it's used as some form of simple user identification.
So as Larry points out, for these kinds of tests where you might want to script a full transaction or session, a custom script using curl or some similar tool might be superior.

Curl will allow you to set the user-agent and store and send cookies. See the curl man page.
Thanks, Larry Barber

We have a web service that requires IE and cookies enabled in the browser. I am trying to test that with hobbit and I get error message.
The current one is you must have cookies enabled, but I am sure the next will be you must be using IE 5.2 or later. Any ideas on how to get hobbit to do this for me.?
