I'm testing something on our server and would like to add my own valid cookie value to do some negative testing using WWW::Mechanize. Here is what I tried but it doesn't seem to save the new value:
... my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(); $mech->cookie_jar($cookie_jar); my $file = 'valid_cookies.dat'; if (-f $file ) { $cookie_jar->clear; $cookie_jar->load( $file ); } ... # Add new valid cookie my $key="INFO"; my $val="36D93C2F9E23D30EBD4B1F1A6D6E6871A5FA7184058AD675"; my $domain="foo.com"; my $maxage = 100000; $cookie_jar->set_cookie($key, $val, $domain, $maxage); $cookie_jar->save( $file ); $cookie_jar->clear; $cookie_jar->load( $file );
Any idea why it's not saving the new cookie?
