    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is turned on, the cookies received from the server
    // are persited to the CookieDir, which could be a directory where cookie XML files are persisted,
    // or the keyword "memory" to keep an in-memory store.

    http.put_SaveCookies(true);
    http.put_CookieDir("memory");

    // Do a few GET's 
    String html = http.quickGetStr("https://www.google.com/");
    html = http.quickGetStr("https://www.amazon.com/");

    // Examine the cookies received from each domain.
    String googleCookies = http.getCookieXml("www.google.com");
