I know that you can do -H 'Cookie: SESSIONID=xxx' however it only sends
that on the first request. If that then returns a redirect then the
header is not sent through. For many headers (i.e. Referer) this makes
sense, for others (i.e. Cookie, Host) this does not, as it will be
needed for all of the requests going to a particular site.
Maybe there is a need to add an option to specify that these headers
should be sent on all requests, including redirects.

Hi,
the reason of having a GET program is to handle only a minimum set
of LWP::UserAgent capabilities through a simple command line.
Therefore the option -H is designed to send headers, cookies require
some more logic on the application side, please remember that cookies
are fully supported by LWP::UserAgent (see the cookie_jar function).
I'll close this bug accordingly, as I said, GET can do all the things
that LWP::UserAgent does but it doesn't do them because it's left
intentionally with a minimum set of functionalities.
Cheers
Antonio
