(PowerShell) 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 = $true. If the SendCookies property = $true, then any cached cookies are automatically re-sent with subsequent GETs and POSTs.

#  To save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the

#  It's content will look something like this:

#  If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
#  be added:
$html = $http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

#  Check the LastHeader property to see the MIME header
#  of the last HTTP request sent.
#  The "Cookie" header field should be present.
