Cookies are sent with a "Set-Cookie" header. You'll have to parse this
(yourself: if the cookie is simple, you can use crude tricks), and then
send this back in a "Cookie" header. You can even do it with 
urllib.FancyURLopener, just use the .addheader() method (but be aware that if 
there are redirects involved, you're probably better off using URLopener
and handling the redirects yourself)
