    // When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is enabled, cookies received from the 
    // server are saved either to the directory specified by CookieDir (where they are stored as XML files) 
    // or in memory if "memory" is specified.

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

    // Do a few GET's 
    const wchar_t *html = http.quickGetStr(L"https://google.com/");
    html = http.quickGetStr(L"https://stripe.com/");

    // Examine the cookies received from each domain.
    const wchar_t *xmlStr = http.getCookieXml(L"google.com");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",xmlStr);

    // Sample output:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <cookies>
    //     <cookie key=".google.com,/,AEC" v="0" expire="Tue, 17-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT" secure="yes">
    //         <AEC>AVh_......</AEC>
