Cookie support

[mightybyte]

Do you have any plans to add cookie support at some point? That would be really nice to have.

@mightybyte I don't see why not, Doug. I don't, however, want to do it as an additional optional module like conduit's "-browser" package was done; as usual when people do things like that they promptly forget to update the auxiliary package when they evolve the core one. Which is what everyone is complaining about with http-conduit-browser.

[Though, now that I think about it, cookies in RESTful APIs are a horrible anti-pattern, so given my original focus on making a decent REST client, not doing cookies was a feature, not a bug. Hm. What do you need cookies for? :)]

I was wanting to do site testing with http-streams. And of course, that meant that I needed cookie support. I'm currently doing it with http-conduit, but didn't need http-conduit-browser to do it.
