set header value for BrowserTest script? about hsac-fitnesse-fixtures HOT 3 CLOSED

Explicitly setting headers is not currently a feature supported by BrowserTest (as real web browsers also don't offer this).

What is the test setup/flow you want to use this for. What I sometimes do is: log in via a SuiteSetUp and all pages in that suite can use browser test as that logged in user, logging out is done in the SuiteTearDown.

Since by default we don't kill browser windows, delete cookies, clear local storage or anything like that, between invocations of BrowserTest the security context does not disappear (unless you remove it). So I would expect that a new "open url" line keeps the same context as existed before.
Having said that I assume the security context is kept using cookies, not explicitly via headers.

This behavior of 'open url' is what users normally experience when they click on a link for applications:

• if they are logged in: the page is opened immediately
• if they are not logged in the page is not opened (if it is a 'nice' application they are taken to a login screen and after successful login the page is opened for them)

Thank you for your response!
On a login page, when the value for "|enter|${value}|as..." begins with a
capital letter and ends with a number, it does up as a link to a non-existent page.
Can I escape this?

Thanks
