resp, data = Net::HTTP("someurl", 80)
cookie = resp["Cookie"]

Setting the cookie:
In the header part of your reply, simply add another header:
Set-Cookie: [special format]

You'll be better off reading the Cookie thingie in HTTP RFC. Or you
can use the cgi-lib.rb which have some useful method:

== make raw cookie string
	require "cgi-lib.rb"
	cookie1 = CGI::cookie({'name'    => 'name',
	                       'value'   => 'value',
	                       'path'    => 'path',   # optional
	                       'domain'  => 'domain', # optional
	                       'expires' => Time.now, # optional
	                       'secure'  => true      # optional
	                      })

Also, please look at http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/cgifaq.html
which contains CGI FAQ which although not what you're building,
contains some useful information about authentication, cookies, nph,
etc.
