provide a saving and loading session cookies feature

Reported by gcosta | July 20th, 2009 @ 11:04 PM

Even though scrubyt deals with cookies from behind the scenes, it would be really nice if we could save a cookie file after running a login script and then running another scripts using the same cookie file.

It could work like this:

@test1 = Scrubyt::Extractor.define :production do

... #login stuff goes here

end

@test1.save_cookies(cookies_path)

@test2 = Scrubyt::Extractor.define :production, :cookies => cookies_path do ... end

Is there a way to do something like this already? I think it would be a great feature for this API, specially when working with rails where you have to split the extractions between multiple controller actions if you want to have any kind of human interaction.
