Thanks for all the many responses and suggestions, I am impressed by the community around this product! I will probably have an opportunity to test this out over the next couple of days; we do not have direct control over the 'real' hobbit servers, so will have to duplicate in our test setup.

Is it possible to do that without a code change? (our last resort!)
It is not possible with Hobbit only at present, but it is quite trivial to write a script that uses curl, that would work.
We test our webmail systems, which require a login (returning a cookie), and an inbox view (which requires the cookie) this way.
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.
