Hi Daniel, and everyone,
In my research into my cookie issue, I found some interesting ideas.
What would you all think about using the Jakarta Commons HTTP Client
instead of java.net.URLConnection?

That wouldn't address the server header generation but its feature set
is much more complete than URLConnection.

This is an interesting idea.  What specific issues would it address?

If we are looking for something more generalized, does anyone have any
suggestions for one HTTP communication library for the whole package? 
The stripped down Catalina for instance?

I'm willing to do the legwork if it looks worthwhile.

Would you enumerate the benefits here?

Well, I am going to make sure I fully understand how I can use the existing code to accomplish my goals (custom HTTP headers and cookie support) by going through a Servlet before I give this a full response.  My initial feeling is that this would remove some complexity for programmers wanting to use the library for  its XML-RPC client only, but I will defer this until I try your idea.
