//  Before doing the POST, do a simple GET for the purpose of obtaining a Cookie.
//  The Cookie contains a session-id and a session-id-time, and these values must
//  be current.

//  The CookieDir may be set to "memory" to keep an in-memory cache of cookies.
//  Alternatively, you may set it to a directory, such as "c:/temp/cookies".  If you do that,
//  you can visually browse the cookies which will appear as XML files in the CookieDir.
