Cookies

[David Bovill]

Thanks Dave,

digging around a bit I figured out a couple of things:

    1) You are maintaining liburl - good luck :)

    2) the httpheaders property appears to be a global property of the
engine not of liburl (set the httpheaders to CookieHeader) - liburl help
could be updated here?

    3) lastRHHeader is a custom property of liburl (put the lastRHHeaders of
stack liburl...)
