Ollie, That was a conscious design decision. Ideally one should be using HttpState#addCoookie method to add cookies to the HTTP state used by HttpClient.
Lately, however, quite a few people complained about inability to add 'Cookie' request headers as a limitation of the existing cookie management API. I am planning to provide a patch against CVS HEAD to address the problem. It's too late to change the 2.0 branch which is already in the final release phase.
