Subject: Sending a cookie in the request using Net::HTTP

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.
