Test script

Hi Tim, the attached script will attempt to reproduce the Safari 3/WebKit
behavior by replaying the same headers.  (In testing, I see an extra "TE:"
header and the "Connection" header has more than just "keep-alive" on it, but I
wanted to get this script to you for testing first.)

1. Edit the script to change the username/password and IP address.
2. Try running the script.  It should say the login failed (which is expected).

Assuming that the script reproduces the failure, some more things you can try:

- Change the headers to match Firefox, and verify that the script successfully
logs in.
- Change the headers back to match Safari 3, then start changing individual
header values (working towards matching Firefox) until the script successfully
logs in.

Please describe which header(s) you had to change if you find a set that works.

Note that if the Perl script doesn't work at all (or you don't want to install
some of the modules it requires), you can "fall back" to using plain old telnet
and then using copy/paste to try out a set of headers:

enter twice after the "wirelessNewId=..." line.
