              Enable cookies in session.

       -v, --verbose
              Increase output verbosity.


INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
       The following commands are accepted at the httppower> prompt:

       auth user:pass
              Authenticate to the base URL with specified user and password, using ``basic'' HTTP authentication
              which sends the user and password over the network in plain text.

       seturl URL
              Set the base URL.  Overrides the command line option.

       setheader [string data]
              Set extra HEADER to use.  Do not specify data to clear.  Overrides the command line option.

       cookies <enable|disable>
              Enable or disable use of cookies.  Overrides the command line option.

       get [URL-suffix]
              Send an HTTP GET to the base URL with the optional URL-suffix appended.

       post [URL-suffix] <string data>
              Send an HTTP POST to the base URL with the  optional  URL-suffix  appended,  and  string  data  as
              argument.   Typically, the data is key=value pairs (multiple of which can be concatenated with the
              &-symbol), but there can be exceptions.

       put [URL-suffix] <string data>
              Send an HTTP PUT to the base URL with  the  optional  URL-suffix  appended,  and  string  data  as
