rest assured looses cookies are between requests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using rest assured for multiple requests. It looks like cookies are lost, 
even when the underlying httpclient is configured to accept cookies.
Is a new instance created for each request? (If so, that should really be 
configurable)

@Test
    public void shouldKeepCookies()
    {
        RestAssured.reset();
        RestAssured.config = RestAssuredConfig.config().httpClient( new HttpClientConfig().setParam(ClientPNames.COOKIE_POLICY, CookiePolicy.BEST_MATCH));

        given().expect().statusCode(200).when().get("fancyInit"); //cookies are set here
        given().body("{}").expect().statusCode(200).when().post("process"); //no cookies are sent here
    }

Yes a new client is created for each request. It would be nice to make this 
configurable. Please help out!

The underlying http client is reinstantiated for each request. But it's now 
possible to configure this by providing your own http client factory, for 
example:

 given().
                config(newConfig().httpClient(HttpClientConfig.httpClientConfig().httpClientFactory(new HttpClientConfig.HttpClientFactory() {

                    @Override
                    public AbstractHttpClient createHttpClient() throws Exception {
                        return new SystemDefaultHttpClient();
                    }
                }))).

Instead of returning a new "SystemDefaultHttpClient" you can make sure that the 
same instance is reused. Please try this out by depending on version 
1.8.2-SNAPSHOT after having added the following maven repo:

<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>sonatype</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
            <snapshots />
        </repository>
</repositories>
