Subject: Adding a cookie to http-access2 without using a cookie.dat

Is there a way to add a cookie with http-access2 without having a
cookie.dat?  I have one cookie that I want to set for every GET I do
and I don't want to have a cookie.dat file for this one value.  I have
been unable to get the following (and some similar variations) to work.

Thanks,

Paul

require 'http-access2'

client = HTTPAccess2::Client.new

cookie = WebAgent::Cookie.new
cookie.parse("fakecookiename=xxxxxxxxxxxx;", "www.foo.com")
client.cookie_manager.cookies = [cookie]

# Get the page sending the "fakecookiename" key along
puts client.get_content("http://www.foo.com/")
