Re: Web request with an existing cookie...

Thank you for your comments David. The site whose page I am trying to poll is
an asp website that is using forms authentication. I believe that once the
login form is submitted a session cookie is written back that is used to
authenticate the user. What I would ideally like to do is manually login to
the site to get the cookie on my hard drive then kick off my app using this
cookie to repeatedly poll the response time for a specified restricted page.
