Cookies implementation #32

Open HongPong opened 5 years ago

See also #24. Guzzle should be able to do this (curl probably can as well with the right args). It would need an interface in the options to load cookie strings most likely, or in some cases just fake its way thru accepting cookies better.

Issue filed here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookies_not_supported/ by @grzegorzjanoszka :

Hi, I really like this plugin and it helps me to provide reliable sources to information on the Internet. There are more and more websites however doing funny stuff with HTTP requests and they set cookies and require them. This plugin unfortunately doesn’t support it and as a result I have lots of redirects to URL’s containing: – ?error=cookies_not_supported – /action/cookieAbsent – sth similar Any idea how to cope with that? Thank you in advance for any help.
