Hi,  
when I call different pages I get on response ["set-cookie"] so i need  
to add the new cookies to my http connection by doing:

headers={'Cookie'=\>resp.response["set-cookie"]}

and then when I call post or get methods pass my headers

But when I give the new cookies I think I'm missing the old ones, how  
can I keep all cookies on my connection?

Thanks

How about using Mechanize, which automatically stores cookies and adds  
them to requests?

If you want to do it by hand yourself, check out this post:
