That looks right to me, but maybe you should flesh out a known path to your cookie, just to confirm it is writing something and it where and what you expect:

do shell script "curl --cookie-jar ~/Desktop/testcookie 'http://www.example.com/login?username=bob&password=pass'"

do shell script "curl --cookie ~/Desktop/testcookie 'http://www.example.com/search?q=something'"

You might want to also look at the HTTP request to make sure you aren't getting redirected as part of the request. You may need to put a –L flag in your second curl command so that it follows the redirect.

I have problems using cookies with curl via do shell script.

I want to login and get a cookie, then send commands back to the server, including the cookie.

This works in Terminal:

curl --cookie-jar zecookie.txt 'http://www.example.com/login?username=bob&password=pass'

--> login OK, sessionID: 1i7nm0ch6pphezdqkulhdub30 blah blah

curl --cookie zecookie.txt 'http://www.example.com/search?q=something'

--> returns my search. all nice and dandy

The information stored in the cookie is a plain Netscape HTTP Cookie File.

However if I do the SAME THING using 'do shell script' it fails:

do shell script "curl --cookie-jar zecookie.txt 'http://www.example.com/login?username=bob&password=pass'"

--> login OK, sessionID: s04988pspn6otuaaz6xeuooy blah blah

do shell script "curl --cookie zecookie.txt 'http://www.example.com/search?q=ssomething'"

-- NOT LOGGED IN

What works in Terminal does not with 'do shell script'.

Can someone help me in the right direction here?

Thank you

Håvard
