Summary: httplib: multiple Set-Cookie headers

Initial Comment:
httplib does not support multiple headers of the same 
name, because the headers are stored in a dictionary.

This causes a problem because an HTTP response can 
contain multiple "Set-Cookie".  

It is stated in RFC2109 - HTTP State Management 
Mechanism that "An origin server may include multiple 
Set-Cookie headers in a response. "

With the current python implementation, only the 
last "Set-Cookie" header is included in the headers 
dictionary, effectively meaning that the other cookies 
were lost.
