Hi Nenad,

I tried to do what you mentioned. It seems the Web Services product we're connection to, doesn't handle cookies until a log on session completes successfully.

So, on the first request, we just get a header response like this:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:22:27 GMT
WWW-Authenticate: Custom realm="ADWS"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Server: Noelios-Restlet-Engine/1.1.4
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

So, there's no way of passing over the cookie values you mentioned to the next test request. Would you please let me know what else I could do?

Thanks in advance,
Igor
