Good points. I suppose you could attach a GstMeta containing all the headers
for the original HTTP response with the buffer. That way Set-Cookies and any
other headers could be extracted as needed in downstream elements.

Although that wouldn't cope with multiple requests setting different cookies,
so I suppose a GstMeta with a shared cookie jar object in it might also be a
way to go.

Or both to get the best of both worlds.

I mainly flagged this because firefox, using gstreamer, failed to play back
some HLS content from BBC iPlayer using a new CDN. The error message on the CDN
server indicated that the cookie wasn't provided, and a quick check showed that
uridownloader didn't do anything with cookies. Just thought it would be a good
idea to flag this issue up.
