| For the site I want to mirror, the login data is stored in
a cookie, so that I do not need to log in again when
beginning a new session.
I copied COOKIES.TXT from the Netscape folder to the
WinHTTrack project folder, started HTTrack, excluded the
logout link in Scan Rules and re-mirrored the site.
None of the protected web pages were downloaded and as soon
as HTTrack finished, COOKIES.TXT got overwritten. All
cookies collected from the many web sites I visited in
recent times are gone. Just the cookie from the downloaded
site is present with modified content (see samples at
bottom of message). It seems HTTrack ignored the original
file and replaced it with its own generated cookies file.
The result is the same when I use "* Update existing
download".
Why does it not work?
