Modifying HTTP request headers

[Phil Wilson]

Hi all,

A project I'm working on uses the salesforce.com web services[1]. In 
order to use their XML-RPC interface I need to be able to specify the 
content of the "Cookie" HTTP request header (the value of which is 
specified by the return from an initial login).

Is there any way of doing this in the 1.1 release? I know that towards 
the end of 2002 Ryan Hoegg was looking at integrating the commons 
HttpClient to isolate the HTTP level. Did this ever get anywhere?

For various political reasons, using an unstable branch (i.e. 1.2) isn't 
a solution for me at the moment.

Thanks,

Phil
