If RoboBrowser isn't changing cookies as expected, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Check Cookie Handling Ensure that you're correctly handling cookies in your RoboBrowser session.

  2. Verify Cookie Headers Make sure that the server is responding with the correct Set-Cookie headers. You can inspect the headers using browser developer tools or by logging the response headers in your script.

  3. Update Dependencies Ensure that all your dependencies, including RoboBrowser and requests, are up to date. Sometimes, issues can arise from outdated libraries.

  4. Check for Compatibility Issues If you're using Python 3, ensure that your code is compatible with Python 3. Some issues might arise from differences between Python 2 and Python 3.

  5. Debugging Add logging to your script to capture the cookies being sent and received. This can help identify where the issue might be occurring.

  6. Consult Documentation and Community Check the RoboBrowser documentation and community forums for any known issues or updates related to cookie handling. You might find solutions or workarounds that others have used.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with RoboBrowser not changing cookies. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the RoboBrowser community for further assistance.
