trying to send cookie back to server, not working

[welkin]

So I'm trying to automate a form submission with socket programming. After entering username/passwd, here's the msg I get from the server:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Sun, 20 May 2007 08:17:01 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.7a DAV/2 PHP/5.2.0 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.3.4 SVN/1.4.3
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.0

Pragma: no-cache
Location: http://www.example.com/risk
Content-Length: 0

And I reply with

GET /risk HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Cookie: SESSION=cafdjibog49ksu3ju2jvfh2ia4
User-Agent: HTTPTest/1.0

And yet somehow the server doesn't recognize the cookie I send back. Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks!

Shouldn't you be sending back "

Set-Cookie:

" rather just "

Cookie:

" ...?

Hmm... somehow I got it to work by incorporating a random string as the cookie (after looking at the HTTP packets), and then it stops replying with the Set-Cookie header. Anyone has any ideas why?
