With links2, once my credentials were sent, I get to the main forum index and
links2 menu option that shows the http headers does not show any set-cookie
field, but if I do enable links2 cookie-saving, I can see the session cookie in
the cookie save file (after exiting links2).  I suspect some redirections did
happen super fast, setting up the session cookie. 
I don't recall seeing any redirections after sending the credentials in
lynx trace file.
