  I think what you're looking for is:

  httplib.setheader("Cookie:", "name=value; path; domain")

  
  It's documented in the HTTP object docs, although the doc on setheader
doesn't specifically mention cookies (but RFC2109 lays out cookie
headers in all their gory detail, e.g. at
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2109.html ).  Actually,
looking at the docs I can't tell whether you need the colon after Cookie
or if setheader will put it in itself; you'll have to experiment a bit
with it.  And of course name, value, and the optional path and domain
should have your values...
