Do you want to set cookies to transport values out of vimb, or do you intend to get the cookies like they are. The cookie file has a standardized format that can be read and written by wget and curl. The file contains 7 tab separated fields like described http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-03/0099.html. > Typical usages for the return values of commands (especially :eval) > include data mining of web sites. At the moment there is no really useful way to get these values out of vimb. One possible way could be to write the stderr into a file and to run something like `:e! console.log(document.cookie);`. The output of console.log() looks like this `** Message: console message: @1: eZSESSID=c19ijpst5guei8f1afar8une40`. But the website may have included a JavaScript the overwrites console.log() so that nothing is printed, and you can only access those cookies that don't have the httpOnly flag set.
