Description Terry Heatlie 2002-03-18 22:39:17 UTC

In order to log a bug in issuezilla, one needs to be logged in
to netbeans.org.  The issuezilla integration for the IDE therefore
needs to be able to "log in".

Done (finally).  It turns out that there is a composite
procedure.  Hitting the login CGI doens't get you a cookie,
but it does get you a bunch of URLs which have a session ID
as part of them.  Hitting any one of those gets you the
cookie, then you are good to go.
