Hi,

Thanks. (Following the bottom posting lead. ;) )

That does solve what I described, but I didn't mention something... After
the initial transaction like that, the program quits (This is an Amazon
Alexa Skill) and when re-invoked needs to go against B.anotherexample.com
<http://b.anotherexample.com/> until the session times out, then do that
whole thing over. I guess I can write them out after the first transaction
set.

Would have been nice to manipulate in memory AND write out when closed. :)
I might just have to do all cookie handling in program. Not terrible, but
just wanted to see if there was an alternative.

Thank you, Tuc
