[Htmlunit-user] newbie cookie question

[Chris P. <ch...@fo...>]

G'day,

Very sorry to ask what must be a FAQ (am running latest httpclient as per FAQ 
on cookies) but I am brand new to htmlunit and the list archive is dead, see 
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=htmlunit-user>.

I would like a simple example of how to set a cookie in the WebClient request 
header.  I've tried the obvious:

web_client.addRequestHeader("Cookie", COOKIE);
page = (HtmlPage) web_client.getPage("http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv");

but the response doesn't have HTTP_COOKIE set (pointing Mozilla at this URL 
with a set cookie works fine).

Running:
htmlunit-1.2.3
commons-httpclient-2.0-rc2

Been googling all day and can't see where I'm going wrong...

TIA,
Chris.
