[I'm working in Ruby, but my question is valid for other languages as well.]

I have a Mechanize-driven application. The server I'm talking to sets a cookie using javascript (rather than standard set-cookie), so Mechanize doesn't catch the cookie. I need to pass that cookie back on the next GET request.

The good news is that I already know the value of the cookie, but I don't know how to tell Mechanize to include it in my next GET request.

Pointers or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
