(MFC) 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.

    // subsequent HTTP requests, set the SendCookies
    // property = true.

    // To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:

    strOut.append(xmlStr);

    // If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
    // be added:

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