(Visual FoxPro) Caching cookies in-memory.

Caching cookies in-memory. To automatically save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the CookieDir property equal to the keyword "memory". Also, set the SaveCookies property = 1. If the SendCookies property = 1, then any cached cookies are automatically re-sent with subsequent GETs and POSTs.

*  

<cookies>
    <cookie key=".paypal.com,/" v="0" secure="yes">
        <navcmd>_home-general</navcmd>
        <HttpOnly />

    </cookie>
</cookies>



*  If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
*  be added:
lcHtml = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

*  Check the LastHeader property to see the MIME header
*  of the last HTTP request sent.
