Alex - many thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded Firebird, installed the HTTP Headers plugin, and was able to get to the site www.highbeam.com without problems. From this I conclude that Firebird is indeed sending cookies.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to make some sense of the mass of data presented in the HTTP Headers plugin window, especially to see what is happening with cookies.
That private service also just let me login with Firebird - the only problem now is that Firebird is substituting Times New Roman for Arial in some places, causing some (minor) difficulty in the work I have to do.
Does the fact that I can login give you any insight? Assuming that my conclusion is correct, that Firebird is sending cookies, how do I get IE6 to behave? [The same private service that I was able to login with Firebird has rejected Opera as an "unsupported" browser, and Opera failed the cookie test when trying to access "highbeam".]
Making progress - thanks! Any more comments/suggestions/observations? - Jimbeau
This is a later addition to the above post: I've been looking through the output from the HTTP Headers plugin window, and Firebird is clearly sending cookies - what's up with IE6?
