I found it difficult to get a value of a response cookie.

I had to do either:

response.cookies.store.instance_variable_get('@jar')[domain][path][cookie_key].value

or

response['Set-Cookie'].find {|header| header.start_with? cookie_key= }.sub(cookie_key=, "")

Which both look quite cryptic. Is there a better way?

This is odd-looking syntax, but I think you want: response.cookies.cookies

There's some discussion of better cookie handling here:

Thanks Tony! It's strange I didn't notice this method. Might be a good idea to add this to the Wiki.
