I may have a relevant breakthrough here on the cookie header problem. I posed my situation over on the httpclient developer mail list. One person made the interesting observance that my cookie request headers were being sent to the server one at a time. Apparently, some servers will only accept one cookie header (containing all cookies separated by semicolons). This sounds very promising.

In HTTPClient, the public interface HttpMethod contains a method 'void setStrictMode(boolean strictMode)'. When this method is set to true, cookies are all concatenated into one header. Apparently, it must be set to false in Webtest because my debug trace shows each cookie being sent individually.

It would be super if we could have the option of setting this property in Webtest, either as a header in the config element, or as a system property.

What is the possibility of this happening?

For info:

I've just committed a change in htmlunit to avoid forcing cookie COMPATIBILITY mode if the system property is set. This is currently only available in htmlunit CVS. I hope beeing able to put a new build of htmlunit in the webtest distribution before Christmas.
