Response.Cookies is "just" a dynamic COM object/collection and pywin32 
has never been great with them and "magic" things like properties etc 
due to various semantic mismatches. If you are lucky, there might be a 
method on the object taking 2 params? I'm guessing `__dir__` didn't help?

Regardless, a last resort would be to unwrap that __setitem__ call and 
experiment with the correct "DISPATCH_*" flags (and in particular, 
trying "DISPATCH_METHOD", because the examples are all showing function 
calls to "set" a value, which python has no concept of!) - the other 
values are probably correct.

HTH,
