Aleem,

[ I've copied the list, because someone with more knowledge of the
internals may be able to answer this question better than I ]

I think this is the full request, but I might be mistaken. To verify
this, look at the code for mech->click() - you'll have to follow the
call as it assembles the request. Maybe I missed a relevant call, but I
thought that cookies were added somewhere in $mech->_modify_request( $r ).

If I've missed something, I'd be very happy if you can send me a patch ;-)

Cheers,

Peter
