Problem with ClientCookie

Probably the error is caused by the "secure" word in the set-cookie
headers, because it doesn't contain "=", so it cannot be split by
re.split(r"\s*=\s*", param, 1).
I never used the ClientCookie package, but you may try to replace line
627 in the source with the following one:
if '=' in param: k, v = re.split(r"\s*=\s*", param, 1)
(be sure to retain the original indentation of the line)
