I'm not sure how one would go about integrating this into an automated
regression system (short of setting up my own server). I do my testing
either against the fox servers that require this, but I also have another
stream that actually echo's back cookies based on the URI. For example:

 ./ffplay -user-agent micah "
http://nlds119.cdnak.neulion.com/nlds_vod/tsn/vod/2012/12/22/4/1_4_can_swe_2012_h_whole_1_android.mp4.m3u8?ffmpeg=neato
"

will response with a "Set-Cookie: nlqptid=ffmpeg=neato..." header field. In
either case I validate the requests with wireshark.

Is this sufficient proof?
