Hey, that's really smart. Thanks, Bob! I will
Walter, his solution is better than mine. Each cookie is just a line in the text file, so "freezing" it at a known good point just works. No need for text-parsing hacks.
This thread is an example of why this list rocks. One person poses a question, the next answers it, and the next trumps it all with a better answer! Everybody learns something.

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm for that project, but let me tell you what I did instead.
cookies.txt is a text file. Hand edit it so it only contains the cookies you want to preserve. Then make it unwriteable.
$ chmod -w path/to/cookies.txt
If you want to selectively add a cookie later, chmod u+w it, visit the site with the good cookie, and chmod -w it again.
When I used Mozilla, I had about 10 sites that I wanted to be automatically logged in to, and I kept cookies for only those sites in cookies.txt. When I switched to Firefox, I set the "keep cookies to end of session" bit instead.
