I'm already trying to capture any cookies sent, but only through the
standard cookie-jar option on cURL. How would I go about grabbing
ones being set by JavaScript? Or even noticing them? Also, I'm
confused as to why so many chapters for almost any story on that site
load just fine, but certain ones never do. For instance, http://
www.fanfiction.net/s/1657629/1/ works just fine, but the 5th chapter
(http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1657629/5/) returns the same error page.

I'm curious as to the reason, but I'd be perfectly happy to just
figure out how to catch all cookies and have everything work even if
I don't know why. ;-) I really appreciate your help and quick
responses!
