You're correct on this. The cookies-client script was one I hacked in 1999 for a specific
reason .. to grab and send cookies to mtnsms.com, and enable a web to sms gateway ..
which worked until mtnsms.com killed the free sms. The script was not really intended
for public consumption.
The first article that was even vaguely official on schemes from rebol.com came out of
Jeff Kreis in 2001.

Yes again. But it does indeed capture the nytimes.com cookie for me .. I just tried
it.

And yes again. Turned out to be quite straight forward to do for both http and https.
