No, Nutch does not support cookies nor sessions.

This is not strictly speaking true ... if you use protocol-httpclient 
then https, cookies and sessions are supported internally by the 
httpclient library, but Nutch doesn't process this information in any way.

So, https works just fine, cookies are accepted and then presented if 
other urls are fetched during the same execution, but they are not 
stored anywhere.
Server set cookies are just http headers so they _are_ stored with rest 
of the headers.

Https works even without protocol-httpclient if a proxy that supports 
https is used.

Anyway, the way I understood the question I would still answer no to 
sessions and cookies.
