this might be useful if you are using both xmlrpc and cookies together, to implement some kind of a two step system.

Shouldn't your line 217 be something like

          connection.putheader("Cookie", "%s=%s" % (cookie.name,cookie.value))

The lack of the Cookie header makes it fail for me. The name of the cookie becomes the header item and it misbehaves. Adding the "Cookie" fixed it.

Thanks for the recipe though.
