Thanks for looking into this.

 

The issue is not with the header. Its with the evaluation of [HTTP::COOKIE].

 

When the last Cookie in the header is "My_Cookie" it works fine. When the last Cookie is not, the [HTTP::COOKIE] functions seem to not able to find "My_Cooke".

 

Below is my test script.

 

This will fail,

 

do echo && echo -n "$number ";GET -Ssed -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)' -H 'Cookie: TID=5555%2D51020900262051001033859%2D0' -H 'Cookie: My_Cookie=1' -H 'Cookie: CHOSEN_BANNER=1' -H 'Host: mysite.com' http://mysite.com/?test=$number

 

This will work correctly,

 

do echo && echo -n "$number ";GET -Ssed -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)' -H 'Cookie: TID=5555%2D51020900262051001033859%2D0' -H 'Cookie: CHOSEN_BANNER=1' -H 'Cookie: My_Cookie=1' -H 'Host: mysite.com' http://mysite.com/?test=$number

 

 

Thanks
