Sending a cookie in the request using Net::HTTP

[Francis Hwang]

I can't find this answered in the RDoc, so I'll ask here: How do I send
the cookie string in an HTTP request using Net::HTTP? I tried doing
something like:

Net::HTTP.start( 'server.host.here' ) { |http|
response = http.get(
'/local/file.rb',
'Cookie: cookie_name=cookie_val'
)
}

hoping that the "initheader" in HTTP#get is where I should drop the
cookie value, but that just gave me a traceback.

Try passing any extra headers in a hash here, like this:

{"Cookie" => 'cookie_name=cookie_val; another_cookie=brownie'}

'Cookie: cookie_name=cookie_val'
)
}
