Ah! In which case what you're trying to do is a reasonable hack, but
better (UNTESTED):
import urllib2, cookielib
cj = cookielib.CookieJar
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
request = urllib2.Request(url)
response = opener.open(request)
response["Set-Cookie"] = "name=tom"
cj.extract_cookies(response, request)
If you have HTML-parsing code to extract these JS cookies that you
want to run on every request (e.g. so even cookies set by JS during
redirections get handled), you can make all this transparent very
easily by using a handler similar to HTTPCookieProcessor itself (using
a recent version of package ClientCookie here for (a recent version
of) the response_seek_wrapper class) UNTESTED:
import urllib2, cookielib
class JSHTTPCookieProcessor(urllib2.BaseHandler):
handler_order = 400 # before HTTPCookieProcessor
def process_response(self, request, response):
from ClientCookie import response_seek_wrapper
if not hasattr(response, "seek"):
response = response_seek_wrapper(response)
try:
name, value = get_js_cookie(response) # your ugly HTML parsing
code here ;-)
finally:
response.seek(0)
response["Set-Cookie"] = "%s=%s" % (name, value)
return response
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(),
JSHTTPCookieProcessor())
response = opener.open(url) # now we're handling JS cookies transparently!
