in reply to LWP::UserAgent doesn't send my HTTP::Cookies

The difference between the version which doesn't

# Show this #!? cookie
print Dumper $cookie if $option->{verbose};

# list archives
$request =
  HTTP::Request->new(
    GET => "https://$option->{hostname}/storiqone-backend/api/v1/archi
+ve/" );
$request->content_type('application/json');

[download]

and the version which just frigging works

# list archives
$request =
  HTTP::Request->new(
    GET => "https://$option->{hostname}/storiqone-backend/api/v1/archi
+ve/" );
$request->content_type('application/json');
$request->header('Cookie' => $cookie);

is that in the former you don't add the cookie to the request header, but in the latter you do. What do you expect? Do you expect that $ua shoehorns its cookie-jar into the new HTTP::Request object? You are expecting too much magic, I guess ;-)

    Yeah, $ua will absolutely take cookies from the cookiejar and add them to any requests, if they exist

      That's why I mention that the cookie is displayed, therefore it exists :)

        Most likely you can easily swap out WWW::Mechanize for your hand-rolled version of the user agent. If it works with WWW::Mechanize, then something is weird in your cookie handling.

        You haven't shown whether the cookie has some path or something that would restrict it from being sent. See below for code by Anonymous Monk that outputs some more debug information.

    The LWP::UserAgent and lwpcook documentations seem to imply that yes, cookies are automagically inserted in headers if the cookie_jar has been set up.

    Of course adding explicitly the cookie object to the headers has absolutely no effect...
