More information:
I tried to use the generic web connector to work with our Groupwise web interface and I explored two problems: Our Groupwise-web-interface-server crashed when because of too many open connections, as the web connector always openes a new connection when synchronising. To solve this problem I created an additional field in the Settings Page under Repository -> Additional Settings -> Advanced Configuration. There one can specifiy a logout url + method and after every login a logout is done.
The other problem occured with cookies that are received after login and then are sent to the Groupwise server as the query request is executed. They need to be in a special order in for the server to identify the current session. Unfortunately the headers were sent in the wrong order. To solve this I added a field where u can specifiy an order of the cookies (by their names) to the Settings Page under Repository -> Additional Settings -> Advanced Configuration. If one specifies an order of the cookies, they are reordered after a login request is made and before the successive request (and the final logout if necessary) is made.

To solve this I extended the org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.web.tasks.WebRepositoryConnector class and the org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.web.tasks.WebRepositorySettingsPage class. I use Eclipse 3.3 and Mylyn 3

Is there any chance that is going to be included in the Generic Web Connector or is this too "special"?
