This is a thorny one, as the browsers don't necessarily do this 
either. SimpleTest acts like a fussy (Netscape) browser. You have to 
explicitly set a timeout.

You cannot delete a cookie with SimpleTest as such, but you must use 
the same tricks a s the browser. If you look at the SimpleTest 
source in simpletest/test/cookies_test.php, right at the end you 
will see some tests that make sure this emulation is possible.

If you look at WebTester::setCookie() in the actual source code, 
you'll see that you can set all the information you need.

Why not actually do the sign-up in the test? That is, start with the 
home page, sign-up, then do your task. It will be slower of course, 
but only for the one or two tests that depend on this behaviour? 
Otherwise your tests may be difficult to understand.

Or am I missing something important?
