Inetget and InetRead don't recognize IE cookies on Windows 10 and so can't be used on password-protected sites

[morganlove]

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, scripts using Inetget and InetRead no longer seem to recognize Internet Explorer cookies. This makes them useless for websites that require you to be logged in to. Has there been some sort of change to IE cookies because of the upgrade and new Edge browser? Is there a way around this?

According to the help file you need to provide userid/password in the URL:

To use a username and password when connecting simply prefix the servername with "username:password@", e.g.
"http://myuser:mypassword@www.somesite.com"

I forgot about this, but the solution was to turn off "Enable Protected Mode" in the IE Security tab.
