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. To easily walk a site that requires a custom login (ie. not HTTP Basic authentication), and that uses persistent cookies, just login normally using a browser run on the Webinator machine itself. Then, enter that browser's cookie file in the Cookie Source Path setting (this is typically %USERPROFILE%\Cookies for Explorer on Windows). Then, Webinator will automatically inherit the browser's permissions. Added in version 4.02.1042043803 Jan 8 2003.
