Sending cookies with python. When download with python

[Yongjian Xu]

yes. urllib2 has Request class that compose html headers (dict object) into
a request object where you can put Cookie: header into it. Also, there are a
few Cookie related modules you can use too.

An example using urllib2 can be something like this:

def myrequest(url):
   req = urllib2.Request(url)
   headers = {'Cookie':'cookies','some_other_headers':'contents'}
   for k,v in headers.iteritems():
      req.add_header(k,v)
   return req

Hope it helps.
