That is incorrect. By default libcurl ignores incoming cookies, you need to
enable it for it to be done. CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE enable
that.

Yes, telling libcurl to deal with cookies and then provide your set is kind of
confusing. What libcurl version is this? I was under the impression libcurl
doesn't behave like that in recent versions.
