Cookies in request object

[Garth Grimm]

Thanks Joshua, doing

h.putheader('Cookie', 'chips=ahoy; vienna=finger')

worked just fine.  I guess I got so locked in to a thought process like
'make a Cookie object, attach it to the request object, etc., etc.'  that I
missed the relatively obvious thought process of 'send this string to the
server, send this other string to the server, etc., etc.,'
