When you say "using the cookie object itself", do you mean
you've tried HttpResponse.addCookie?
addCookie
Adds the specified cookie to the response. It can be
called multiple times to set more than one cookie.
The behavior you describe for setHeader is correct, it
erases the old value. The 2.2 spec has a new HttpResponse
method:
addHeader
The setHeader method sets a header with a given name and
value. If a previous header exists, it is replaced by the
new header. In the case where a set of header values exist
for the given name, all values are cleared and replaced
with the new value. The addHeader method adds a header value
to the set of headers with a given name. If there are no
headers already associated with the given name, this method
will create a new set.
You might also want to check the archives (link at the bottom of
the message) for a thread with the subject "How to add multiple
cookies in 2.1". Actually, I'm being bad (bad programmer, no
programmer treat) for answering, since you probably should have
checked the archives and the spec before posting. But since the
archive search function has been broken lately...
