Did you see the hint I posted a few days ago? I'll repeat it, if you want more detail then ask but after all it's supposed to be a challenge :-)

What I did was,
- create a new cookielib.Cookie
- add the cookie to the CookieJar
- make a request the same way as when I was collecting cookies

To create the new Cookie it might help to look at the source for cookielib (Lib\cookielib.py), the Cookie constructor doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

To figure out the values for the Cookie constructor it might help to look at one of the cookies you already have.

I could be wrong but I don't think Cookie.SimpleCookie is going to get you there.
