Is there a way to add cookies to the request?

might be better to discuss this here instead of JuliaWeb/LibCURL.jl#103

Cookies are just HTTP headers, so you will need to add your correctly formatted cookies to the CurlEasy handle using curl_add_headers

There is currently no higher level API, nor is there a cookie jar that will store cookies per domain and send them automatically on subsequent requests.

thanks. I will try this out.

I know very little about HTTP, but I noticed that, e.g. HTTP.jl, has different keywords for headers and cookies, thus I am not quite sure whether cookies are just headers.

Yes, it's just a header (header name is Cookie). HTTP.jl is a higher level API that probably also maintains a cookie jar.

For the cookie value, you will have multiple cookies as a ; separated list of name=value. If the value has special characters, then it should be enclosed in quotes. eg:

Cookie: foo=bar; foo2="hello world"; name="bluesmoon"

Thanks. This works like a charm.
Appreciate the explanation to add 'Cookie' as header name!.
