Rails - Jul 2006 - Testing cookies - integration tests

Hello,

I''m trying to test some cookie code with some integration tests, but
I''m
not sure if this is possible.

Currently I''m creating a session (using open_session) running some code
that sets my cookie and this works fine, the cookie is being set.  Now 
cookies are supposed to exist across different sessions, so I try to 
create a new session (again with open_session), but the cookie value no 
longer exists.  My code does work if I''m not testing with the test 
framework, but I wasn''t sure if testing cookies is supported via 
integration tests or not.  Anybody have any idea if it is supported and 
what I may be doing wrong?

Here''s basically what I''m trying to test...

   # start a new session and login (sets a cookie value)
   open_session do |sess|
      sess.extend SessionMethods
      sess.login_user :remember => true
      sess.get url_for(:controller => ''main'')
      sess.assert_equal sess.assigns(:user).id.to_s, 
sess.assigns(:cookies)[''login''].first
    end

    # start a new session, cookie should still be set
    open_session do |sess|
      sess.extend SessionMethods
      sess.get url_for(:controller => ''main'')

      ### cookies are empty!!!
      sess.assert !sess.assigns(:cookies)[:login].empty?
    end

Thanks,
Andrew
