(Objective-C) 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 = YES. If the SendCookies property = YES, then any cached cookies are automatically re-sent with subsequent GETs and POSTs.

NSLog(@"%@",xmlStr);

// It's content will look something like this:

// <cookies>

// 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.
