Setting cookies when using the shell

[chaitanyasai]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to store cookies when using the shell. The fetch
() function does not seem to pass on cookies from responses.
I am doing this 'manually' now; I extract the cookie from
response.request.headers, create a new Request object and then pass it
on to fetch(). Is there a simpler way to do this?

Thanks!

P.S: Scrapy is wonderful. Thanks for all the great work you have put
into it!

No, there isn't. But I reckon it would be a very nice feature. If you (or
anyone else) care to send me a patch for this functionality, I would be more
than gald to merge it.
