[San-diego-pm] Cookie problem

[Chris Radcliff]

Hi Joel,

Cookies are sent with the result of your request (in the headers) and  
read on the next request. The cookies you read on any given request  
will only be those set previously, so you'll want to keep track of the  
values internally as well.

Cheers,
~chris
