I think the Cocoon angle to this would be to use the session context which holds all the cookies, so to speak. I also think Cocoon uses the apache HTTPClient app for retrieving remote web pages, and if so, I know it has a method for listing all the cookies used for web requests. But I haven't done any of this so I will try to set up a test.

Thanks for setting up the general context of this approach. My
preliminary work uses PHP and the curl library, so we'll see if I can
get curl to spill the cookejar.
To those that talked of Cocoon as an environment to frame this kind of
solution, does any of this thinking translate? I'm assuming that the
need to pass authentication would in a number of instances still require
passing remote authentication cookies in some proxied fashion. Or is
there a better way?
