In the following we’ll do these things:
we go to a form submit page we order something we get that something we ordered In more detail:
We use a “Cookie Manager” to carry forward cookies between calls We set up our variables The idea here being that we predefine the variables, so they would show up in the “Debug Sampler” which makes debugging easier, because you see at each step, whether the variable has the correct value or not.
