There are (at least) 2 ways to handle this:
1) try "curl -o page.html http://server.domain.com";, then look at
page.html to see what it does, and work out where to go from there.
2) there's a plugin for Firefox called LiveHTTPheaders. That records all
incoming and outgoing headers when you go to a web page. That'll show what
gets sent back to the server after the initial page discovers that cookies
work.
It's possible that the initial page doesn't send anything back. It may
just give any error if setting a cookie fails, rather than allowing you to
continue. If so, you could probably use Xymon's http test.

Thank you Ralph, so that'll be the best way,

It's very likely the web page has some JavaScript that is executed on
loading, to set and read a cookie. Xymom doesn't do JavaScript, but you
can fake it in an ext script using curl.

Hi all,
I want to test login on an authentification form with http. The requested
url checks for the acceptance of cookies. If cookies aren't accepted an
error message is returned even if authentification is successful. There is
no need to transfer cookies contents, only xymon has to to send the
information "yes, cookies accepted" with the http-test to the url. Is that
possible?
kind regards
Rolf
