Dear Monks I am trying to get content of a url that I can view on my browser for some time (till the cookie expires I guess) but need to get through LWP. I have copied the cookies.txt file from mozilla profiles and using that to pretend that LWP was used for authntication. -------------------------------- 
my $url = 'http://www.princetonreview.com/schools/college/CollegeAdmis
+sions.aspx?iid=1023828&uidbadge=%07';

my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$browser->agent('Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)');

my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla->new(qw( autosave 1 file cooki
+es.txt ) );    

$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

my $response = $browser->get( $url );

print $response->content;

--------------------------------- The resulting content is always the same authentication page asking for username and password but not the real page. As you can see I am not using authentication in my code but want to make use of already authenticated session that I started on mozilla. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
