Cookie parser

Please find cookie parser code, please use it if you like it. You are most welcome to suggest improvements because I know it has lot of scope of improvement. The highlighted yellow code may be used differently, few suggestion:


1) You can have one cookie collection object and before making any http call, use this cookie collection to attach cookies with call based on domain.

2) You may use HashTable and each domain may act as Key and value can have cookie collection object for that particular domain.

3) You may use it as it is if you are not making call domain’s other than “msn” and “live”.
