hi,
I have to write some very weird login script. One of the things is that I have to use LWP::UserAgent->simple_request.
I can not use the normal ->get() 'cause it follow HTTP 301 Moved permanently response, i dont want to.
The other thing is that I want to manipulate the headers in the Mech object.
For the request partucalry i have to add headers before it has been created (from thee Mech point of view).
I already done the whole thing using directly HTTP::Request/Response, but I want to integrate it inside Mech, so that i continue with with it after the login..
In pesudo code current code is like this :
$req = new HTTP:Req(GET => url1);
$req->header('Cookie' => cookie1);
$resp = $mech->simple_request($req);
my $session = $resp->header('set-cookie');
$req2 = new HTTP:Req(GET => url1);#yes url1 again ;(
$req2->header('Cookie' => $session);
$req2->{_headers}->authorization_basic(user,pass);
$resp2 = $mech->simple_request($req2);
$req3 = new HTTP:Req(GET => url3);
$req->header('Cookie' => $session);
$resp3 = $mech->simple_request($req3);
done..continue with $mech only..

All this doesnt feel good ;|. I want req<->resp to be stored inside the $mech some way..and to be able to continue processing with mech.
