Also, FYI, curl can use cookie files from Netscape/Mozilla browsers - it's been a long time since I've used that, so I'm not certain if Firefox cookie files would work too...
On a tangent, I do think we need some statement from the listmom (or whomever) about the suitability of do shell script-based solutions here, as this debate has come up several times recently. I personally believe this is a perfectly relevant type of solution for this list, and like any other offered solutions it is up to the requester to determine if it's appropriate for their needs. I cannot even count the number of times I've used do shell script where no other solution worked. I also don't believe that shell commands are, in the abstract, any more of a stretch to learn for people already writing scripts, and it's a very powerful facility in OSX that has enhanced AppleScript in innumerable ways.
If there's a proclamation that it's not appropriate for this list, or if a specific poster says it's not what they want I'll accept that, but having this debate with third-parties each time it comes up seems counterproductive. And as always, folks are always welcome to offer better pure-AS solutions.
Listmom?
