    // Let's say we want to continue with the session at some later time with a new HTTP object.
    // One way to do it is to simply set the same cookie properties:

    httpB.SetSaveCookies(true)

    fmt.Println(httpB.LastHeader())
    fmt.Println("----------------------------------")

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Another way to do it is to explicitly load the cookies from XML
    // and set the cookies for the particular domain.
