Hi, Graham, et al,
The following types of syntax work.
a: read/custom http://127.0.0.1/archive/cookie-get-post.php [
cookie "TestCookie=Test+Value" post "field=MyField"]
c: "TestCookie=Test+Value"
b: "field=MyField"
a: read/custom http://127.0.0.1/archive/cookie-get-post.php reduce [
'cookie c 'post b]
a: read/custom http://127.0.0.1/archive/cookie-get-post.php reduce [
'cookie "TestCookie=Test+Value" 'post b]
a: read/custom http://127.0.0.1/archive/cookie-get-post.php reduce [
'cookie c 'post "field=MyField"]
Reversing the order of 'cookie and 'post doesn't matter.
All in all it works better than I figured for a first shot. I will warn though
that in the wild (the "real" Internet), I've had less success finding a site
that takes cookies and has a simple enough form to check. As examples, eBay
combinations of cookies and forms appear to work with limited testing, but Yahoo
sign-in is a mess because of all the cross checks they do (it would take longer
to set up the test than it took to hack the http scheme!).
I really am interested in gettin feedback. Meahwhile, I will do more thinking
and checking on the other things that would be nice to have that I mentioned
before.
Cheer-ios,
--Scott Jones
