I seem to be having a problem similar to some others I've read about:

I'm trying to login to Facebook.com. I'm passing in my "email" and "pass" through POST parameters, but receive the following response within Screen-Scraper:
"Cookies are not enabled on your browser. Please adjust this in your security preferences before continuing."
Any suggestions?

natR,
Sometimes cookies are set using JavaScript. screen-scraper is unable to automatically pass cookies when they're set like this. This add-on for Firefox is helpful in identifying if a cookie is being set via JavaScript.

Use it in conjunction with the screen-scraper proxy and see if there are any cookies showing up in the LiveHTTPHeaders log and not in the screen-scraper proxy log. Look in the response header.
If you find one, manually pass it using this method:
