Hi Daniel,

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that I have cookies.txt right in the same folder as the PHP file I am running - there is no content to that text file. The date properties aren't changing either, which means it isn't and never has been written to.

The error isn't saying that I am missing a cookie - it says that 'my browser has cookies disabled'. I think it is trying to store the cookie into that text file, but for some reason it is behind declined. Could there be a security issue on the server that stops this? I made the text file myself and put it there - it has full write access.

Any other ideas? I am stumped.

Aaron

  Yes, there have been cookie parsing bug fixes since then.

  Well, those headers didn't contain any set cookies so therefore I asked. If
  it returns saying you lack cookies, it means it expected THIS request to pass
  on cookies which you apparently didn't. Perhaps you need to get a previous
  page first to get an initial set of cookies that is then passed on when you
  get this page?

  Many sites work that way and when I do things like this, I usally have curl
  load the login-form HTML page first, which also makes it behave even more
  like a true web browser.
