Which is *one* string.

If you want to parse the 'hdrs' string to obtain the 'Set-Cookie' fields,
try something like:

>>> hdrs = """Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2000 16:21:07 GMT
... Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix)
... Set-Cookie: Blah-blah=78s82%23^%%%^
... Connection: close
... Content-Type: text/xml"""
>>> for each_line in string.split( hdrs,'\n' ):
...   field, content = string.split( each_line, ': ')
...   if field=='Set-Cookie': print content
... 
Blah-blah=78s82%23^%%%^

The standard module 'mimetools' might be useful to you too.
