Nice use case. I like what you're trying to achieve.
- urllist_txt will read the urllist.txt file from the web server
(
http://host.tld/urllist.txt). This is not what you want.
- The latest version from importResults says in its description:
Three configurable parameter exist:
- input_csv
- input_burp
- input_webscarab
Please make sure that you have the latest version of w3af from the
SVN. The (
http://w3af.sourceforge.net/plugin-descriptions.php#discovery)
page is outdated, I'll fix that in a while.

For your use case, please use importResults with input_csv.

method, uri, postdata

Yes, please see the http-settings, there is a way for you to
specify a cookie, or add arbitrary headers with headersFile parameter.

Hmm... I'm not sure if that's going to work, but its worth a try!
I think its a smart idea.
