Problem with this chall ?  Go to the Training: Programming 1 challenge

Sending your phpsessid via GET will not work for this challenge.
You have to submit it via cookie.

Hmm, well my understanding is that you cannot setcookie or do header(Set-Cookie: ) for a domain other than the one your script is hosted on in php? I'm fairly new at it, and I am pretty sure this is why my cookie was not being set using those commands.

Thanks for the response though Gizmore

Set-Cookie is used by the server to send a cookie to your browser. In this case you need to send a cookie to the server. This is done using the Cookie:-header. In that case you don't need to specify a domain. How you implement this depends on the programming language you use. If you use PHP/curl, you can probably do something like (Note that the documentation on CURLOP_COOKIE at php.net talks about "Set-Cookie:", which is an error or just confusing)

A good way to see how Set-Cookie and Cookie work is propably to install livehttpheaders plugin for firefox and look at the output.

very nice post MrBlueSky

In fact this challenge is all about send cookie credentials.

The server sends the "Set-Cookie:" header.
the clients send the "Cookie:" header.

Good luck on sending your credentials and
Happy Challenging !

I have livehttpheaders, I will have a play and see what I can get done

Thanks for an informative post.

Thank you very much, have managed this now, I wasn't aware of cURL before but it seems to be a very useful library (I only started to have a go at php for some challenges).

I'd say you need something like wget or curl to make it work with bash.
so maybe "man curl" or "man wget" will contain useful information how to handle cookies.

For some odd reason my PHP script and class based on http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/5990.html needs 15 seconds to process and post the data.
