It doesn't seem like webtest is accepting cookies (and subsequently sending them). When/how does it handle cookies? Or, more importantly, when doesn't it?

My application puts the session-key in a cookie, as is fairly common. So, when a page is requested, it depends on the cookie, and tries to set the cookie if there isn't one.

-If the request includes a "session" cookie -find/use the server-side session data and process the request -else // the set-and-validate sequence -deliver a "empty" redirect response with the new "session" cookie, the redirect is to "check for cookie" -If a request for "check for cookie" includes a "session" cookie -the response is a redirected to the URL that started this sequence -else -respond with content about "please turn your cookies on"

Webtest doesn't do what I want when it encounters the "set-and-validate sequence". It does follow the redirects, but doesn't seem to accept the cookies and return them. Is the redirect-plus-set not being handled?

Similarly, when my application tells the client to replace a cookie, webtest doesn't seem to accept the new value.
