Placing the cookie in the project folder did not work.  
The site does not generate cookies related to the links I 
want to download.  To be sure, I deleted all cookies from 
my cookies folder and I was still able to access the links 
without receiving the "timed out" / "login" screen.  I 
then checked the cookies folder; no cookies were present.  
As a final test, I accessed the homepage of the site, 
which generated the cookie. 

The Capture URL function also failed to capture the 
pages.  Specifically, after loading the proxy settings, 
when I clicked on a link, it hung for about 15 minutes 
(before I cancelled it).

I DID notice that, while navigating to the page that 
contains the links that I would like to download, a JSP 
page loads quickly before I am redirected to the site 
containing the target content.  I was able to stop the 
page from processing so that I could view the HTML 
source.  Apparently, the login creds are being passed from 
this page prior to accessing the page with the target 
content.  The source is as follows:

<html>
	<head>
    <title>
      
    </title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 
href="generic.css">
	</head>
  <body>


    <form name='default_form' method='post' TARGET='' 
action='/login'>
    <input type ='hidden' name ='NEXT_PAGE' value 
= 'VIEWER_INSTRUCTIONS'>
    <input type='hidden' name='WORKFLOW_ID' value='11'>
    <input type='hidden' name='VIEWER_OVERRIDE' value='Y'>
    <input type = 'hidden' name ='SAVE' value='false'>
    <input type='hidden' name='TAG_ACTION' value='LOGIN'> 
    <input type='hidden' name='PAGE' value='LOGIN'> 
    <input type='hidden' name='SHORT_NAME' value='S1'>
    <input type='hidden' name='USER_ID' 
value='AbstractViewer'>
    <input type='hidden' name='PASSWORD' value='password'>

    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>

        document.forms[0].submit();

    </script>
    </form>


  </body>
</html>

Can I use WinHTTrack for this job?  

Is there a way to automate the process of submitting this 
form through WinHTTrack?
