Hi all,

I stumbled upon an issue where I need to use object variables sessions to
store cookies instead of on disk. I came up with a solution where I
extract the sent cookies from the headers via regex into PHP object
variables. I then resend those cookies using CURLOPT_COOKIE.

This all works well, but not where there is header redirections (enabled
via CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION). I noticed cookies are not carried through
this method when using this manual method.

So, I ended up disabling CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION and manually connecting
each redirection page. However, this method does / does not work on
various sites. Some sites send multiple cookies with various flags at
those header redirects - throwing off my solution. I assume that using the
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR method interprets the flags correctly.

Anyone else stumble into this issue?
