Cookies aren't normally set in HTML...   Cookies are part of the HTTP 
protocol.  They are normally set by the server, and stored in the 
browser, then next time the browser communicates to that server, it 
sends the cookie back.

The exception to this rule is when Javascript sets one (which was 
controversial when this support was added, and not all browsers allowed 
it -- though things may have changed, I'm not sure.)   In that case, 
they can be set on the client end -- but they'll still be sent to the 
server.  But, that's about the only way you'd see the cookie in the HTML...

Anyway, I've been running your test program, and I've found a bunch of 
bugs in the cookie handling (mainly in the cookie_file support).

I've uploaded a new BETA copy of HTTPAPI with bugfixes.  Can you try it?
