Cookie Problem

chuck_norris has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi guys,

I am trying to perform an HTML request and get the cookies. When running the request on the browser, I get the following cookie:

Cookie:

JSESSIONID=60E57614E7D03180907A5E79C5004010;PCLT=709bbb898f81c961a720d
+dca9131ff4f00000000
[download]

However, my user agent catches only the first cookie (JSESSIONID) and not the PCLT cookie.
I tried using WWW::Mechanize module but got the same result.
Do you know how can I catch that cookie?
Thanks,
Chuck

What you are showing is not a server cookie. It is the client side request to the server which sends cookie data back to the server in the form: `Cookie: NAME1=OPAQUE_STRING1; NAME2=OPAQUE_STRING2 ...` [download] The server sends multiple cookies in the form: `Set-Cookie: CUSTOMER=WILE_E_COYOTE; path=/; expires=Wednesday, 09-Nov- +99 23:12:40 GMT Set-Cookie: PART_NUMBER=ROCKET_LAUNCHER_0001; path=/` [download] When client requests a URL in path "/" on this server, it sends: `Cookie: CUSTOMER=WILE_E_COYOTE; PART_NUMBER=ROCKET_LAUNCHER_0001` [download] If I have a script that sends two Set-Cookie headers I have no problem retreiving them. Perhaps this will work for you. See HTTP::Cookies Read more... (1004 Bytes)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Surely, Chuck Norris would round-house kick the cookie >:)	[reply]
