    Re: [Help] "Enabling" cookies in a webrequest

    Forgive me for assuming you meant a Windows Application when you're talking about cookies, webrequests, firefox, and loading the live.com site to emulate their http headers. Now that we're on the same page, you should know that you're still going about it the wrong way. You do not want to use cookies for authentication of a windows application, nor do you need to use a WebRequest to authenticate a user.

    Download their Windows Live ID SDK and then follow this tutorial on how to set it up.

    Secondly, you can disregard my comments about hacking FireFox and 3rd party cookies because you're not going to be using cookies or a browser. I missunderstood your situation and thought you were using a website I apologize.

    I'm pretty sure he misunderstood your question too and perhaps thought you were using a website.
