Help with Jakarta HttpClient Cookies

[Richard]

I have an HttpClient application and I want to set a cookie in the
request header and send it along with the req. to the server.

I have tried method.addRequestHeader and method.setRequestHeader
without success. The method calls do not set cookies. (I verified
that you can set other types of headers with them.

Can someone please instruct me on how to set a Cookie in my request?

Thanks
