The del.icio.us API authentication is not cookie-based, but rather is HTTP authentication based:
http://del.icio.us/help/api/ So, with curl in PHP, you want to use: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "dummy007:gopal123"); on each request to provide the authentication info each time. An HTTP 401 is either an initial challenge or a subsequent failed login over HTTP authentication. You shouldn't have to worry about the cookie at all.
