Sending a cookie in the request using Net::HTTP

ruby-talk

I can't find this answered in the RDoc, so I'll ask here: How do I send the cookie string in an HTTP request using Net::HTTP? I tried doing something like:

Net::HTTP.start( 'server.host.here' ) { |http|
  response = http.get(
    '/local/file.rb',
    'Cookie: cookie_name=cookie_val'
  )
}

hoping that the "initheader" in HTTP#get is where I should drop the cookie value, but that just gave me a traceback.

something like:

Net::HTTP.start( 'server.host.here' ) { |http|
  response = http.get(
    '/local/file.rb',

Try passing any extra headers in a hash here, like this:

    {"Cookie" => 'cookie_name=cookie_val; another_cookie=brownie'}
