Hi, I have been using Canoo for several weeks. So far it has been a great tool and with a great vision on testing. Thank you!

Problem: I am trying to download a binary file as part of the webtest to the local machine, the client (to verify that the user may get it from downloads page and can unzip it later ok etc)

Question: I don't see any steps that may apply here. I also did not see workarounds in the mailing list archive. As a workaround, I tried to download the binary with wget (I use Red Hat), essentially calling it from an Ant exec task. I get 403:forbidden responce. This is done via HTTP, but I believe that there is cookie used within the session, so that only the session can get to the link.

Does anyone have a solution for this? If your could, would you please include a snippet of the command you use.

Andrei
