So, as a frequent user of Bugzilla, and therefore a hater of it's complex query system, I decided that it'd be great to have local copies of all the bugzilla pages and let Spotlight chew on them so I could find those obscure bugs rather quickly.

Automator suddenly has a use! So, I wrote my second Automator job (the first being to grab all the images off of a "photography" site), but I quickly ran into problems.

It seems that Automator doesn't access Safari's cookies very well. When pointing to the "current webpage" in safari (a bugzilla page listing all the bugs), Automator appears to attempt to download the login page of bugzilla, which means that it's not accessing cookies.

Any idea how to fix this or whatever? Automator seems kind of cool and all, but it's rather inflexible and hard to figure out what's going wrong.
