Ollie,
That was a conscious design decision. Ideally one should be using
HttpState#addCoookie method to add cookies to the HTTP state used by
HttpClient.
Lately, however, quite a few people complained about inability to add
'Cookie' request headers as a limitation of the existing cookie
management API. I am planning to provide a patch against CVS HEAD to
address the problem. It's too late to change the 2.0 branch which is
already in the final release phase.
Regards,
Oleg
