The login and cookie are private between you and the server that sent them. It would be a serious security breach for your browser to expose them to another server, such as the validator. The Advanced Form at Page Valet offers a workaround for this: you can explicitly set your username/password and cookie, and it will then access your server as yourself to validate it. <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/page/> -- Nick KewReceived on Friday, 18 July 2003 19:01:43 UTC
