Comment 1 for bug 240685

This patch against .main rev 99 adds a save_cookie-method to the HTTPConnection object:

Example usage:

In [1]: from launchpadbugs.connector import ConnectBug

In [2]: Bug = ConnectBug()

In [3]: Bug.connection.save_cookie("boo")

In [4]: !cat boo
    # Netscape HTTP Cookie File
    # http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
    # This is a generated file! Do not edit.

In [5]: Bug.authentication = {"email": "myemail", "password": "mypassword"}

In [6]: Bug.connection.save_cookie("boo")

In [7]: !cat boo
    # Netscape HTTP Cookie File
    # http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
    # This is a generated file! Do not edit.

.launchpad.net TRUE / TRUE 123456789 edge somerandomstring
.launchpad.net TRUE / TRUE 123456789 lp somerandomstring

the created file is in the mozilla format used with FF2 since python does not support the new format directly.

Please test and review this patch.
