# Alternative and prior work

* Adapted from [this stack overflow answer](https://superuser.com/questions/666167/how-do-i-use-firefox-cookies-with-wget)
* Firebug and friends allow you to copy requests as curl. This can be suitable for debugging.
* Cookies can be exported manually from within firefox

All of these approaches can be problematic when automating tasks.
