Cookie Source Path

Note: This documentation is for an old version of Webinator. The latest documentaion is here.

Cookie Source Path

File path to a Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer format cookie file to read at start up. This allows persistent cookies saved by a browser to be read by Webinator, so it can inherit the browser's state. So a site that requires a custom login - ie. not HTTP Basic authentication - that uses persistent cookies can be easily walked: Just login normally via a browser run from the Webinator box, then enter the browser's cookie file in the Cookie Source Path setting (this is typically %USERPROFILE%\Cookies for Explorer on Windows). Webinator will then automatically inherit the browser's permissions. Added in version 4.02.1042043803 Jan 8 2003.
