Hi Sebb,
1) GHIJK is just a form variable that gets Posted
2) The cookie value ("true") is ignored. It has NO function at all. The data
payload is in the cookie name.
3) How MS accesses these values is a secret to me. Some kind of JS.
4) I've tried regular expressions but they only seem to filter the page content
of the response not the cookies. (Is that the case?)
What I basically need is some way to use Res on the whole response including
the header.
Cheers Oliver

OK.

What is GHIJK? Is it a form variable?

What has the cookie to do with the value of GHIJK?
In your example the cookie value is "true" - how will the cookie value
help with determining the value for the field GHIJK?

How does the page access the cookie?
I.e. how does the browser decide what to post?
You'll need to work this out and use REs etc to extract the relevant data.
