just reverse what i did :-) after your request completes, get the Apache CookieStore object from your post object (post.getCookieStore()) and copy the relevant cookies to the WebKit CookieManager (CookieManager.getInstance()). in theory, this should result in those cookies being sent in future WebKit HTTP requests.
