If you're somehow unable to grab the cookies, you can build them manually as outlined in the docs, but you still have to include them in every HTTP request. The framework you're using to do HTTP requests probably has a way to set cookies; for instance, in Snoopy (an HTTP framework for PHP), it's as simple as calling $snoopy->setCookies(); after the login request, which automatically grabs the cookies received in the previous request and passes them in every subsequent request. Your framework probably has a setCookie() or similarly-named function as well.
