Yes I could do it this way but I'm just being lazy! In the pre cookie jar days
I used to use my own perl functions for all this. Now I've caught up with the
times using cookie jar I find its not as flexible as I would like.
As I am making multiple calls on the same curl handle the cookie jar is not
dumped to a file between calls but kept in memory - where I can't modify it. I
could close and reopen connections but I don't really want to as I'm trying to
save the overhead of setting up new SSL connections.

To see if the sender will recognise an altered cookie ;-) My main reason for
this feature is testing security.
