[ale] OT: Java and Cookies

[Christopher Fowler]

I'm trying to do a POST and grab a cookie to be used for later 
authentication. I hope that maybe you guys have done this
before.  The aut.asp page is a simple POST form.  When the
form is submitted it returns a frameset and a cookie.  I can
not seem to get the the HttpURLConnection to get the cookie.  It
seems that the conneciton does the post and then tries to
receive each page of the framset.  However, I do not see
and Cookies: being sent with those GET requests.  Is there a
way to get this code to use the Set-Cookie that is being sent
back.
