Just discovered that webmin can be configured not using session
management (Webmin Configuration|Authentication), it will use http
authentication instead. That means you can test it with the
Other|FileManager module.

I don't see a solution on cookie based authentication now. All I need is
the calling java.net.URLConnection in SecurityManager.checkPermission and
add the cookie with setRequestProperty (at least I think so :) ).

Maybe a proxy server interface on kio is the only way...
