Why use cookies directly? Why not use the Session class instead as
underneath it does the cookie stuff for you. You also should not use
FileSession directly either. Always use Session.Session() to get the
reference to the session object and use the PythonOption to specify
the type of session to use.
BTW, if you dump out req.headers_out you can verify that the output
headers are setup correctly with the cookie stuff.
