I need to simulate a single web browser session across visits
to multiple URL's, some of which I do not know until I have processed
the results of some of the first URL fetches. In particular, the web
site that I need to access sets some non-permanent cookies and checks
them later. pavuk (a program similar to wget) supports this, but I
prefer wget's more describe program name and command syntax. So,
I have implemented an option to support the saving of temporary
cookies (via "--execute=tempcookies=1"). I can add a direct
command line option if desired. Please incorporate this into
wget or let me know what I need to do to get it integrated into
wget. Thanks in advance.
