libcurl has no particular support for a "Mozilla" cookie file format. So if
it differs from the one used by netscape 4, it won't work.

Anyone that runs mozilla can check that out. At the moment I'm stuck on a
windows machine and I have no idea where mozilla puts its cookie file on this
system. I no one else does it, I can check it out tonight on my home box.

I tried to search for this information on www.mozilla.org, but I got nothing.

If mozilla uses a different format (that makes sense), it would indeed be
interesting to have support for that file format added to libcurl.

This also requires that Mozilla updates its cookie file instantly as soon as
it receives a cookie.
