There is currently no such way. We've discussed this in the past, and I still
want to add an API that can get (and set) cookies like this.

The last time I brought it up is here:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-12/0195.html

... and the previous somewhat bigger suggestion is here:
http://curl.haxx.se/dev/COOKIES

(And judging from the comments to the mail above, we need some kind of mix of
these two to satisfy people.)

Until we get a function or two for cookies, extracting the info "manually" by
intercepting headers is the only proper way.

I'm very interested in suggestions and ideas. I have too many libcurl
development plans going to keep all of them up to speed on my own.
