Hi Monks,
I have a Mechanize-driven application. The server I'm talking to sets a cookie using javascript (rather than standard set-cookie), so Mechanize doesn't catch the cookie. I need to pass that cookie back on the next GET request. 

sub handler {
    my $r = shift;
    my $req = Apache2::Request->new($r);
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(
                    agent => 'Mozilla/5.0',
                autocheck => 1,
        );
    
    $mech->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new);
    my $domain = 'http://somesite.org';
    my $uri = $req->param('uri');

    if(defined $uri){
        $mech->get($domain);
    }else{
        my $args = $r->unparsed_uri();
        my $base = "$domain$args";
        $mech->get($base);        
    }
    
    my $response  = $mech->response();
    my $html = $response->content;
    
    $r->content_type($mech->content_type);
    $r->content_encoding($response->content_encoding);

       print $html; 
        return Apache2::Const::OK;

}

Would really appreciate it if some one could guide me. Thanks Amit
