I'd recommend using cookie management on the connection level. According 
to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2053568/managing-http-cookies-on-iphone 
"NSURLConnection 
<http://developer.apple.com/Mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSURLConnection_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/NSURLConnection>
 gives 
you cookie management for free."

To manage it yourself using headers you could subclass the 
AuthTktAUthenticationPolicy and override the ``remember`` and ``forget`` 
methods to set headers instead of 
cookies.
