Hey, it is documented, here 🙂 Passing a cookie is actually just setting the Cookie header to your request 👍

Maybe we should add an example in how to use http-client and browser-kit

Alright, I'm taking a look at it!

@alexandre-daubois
The last thing I expected from Symfony components is to build header values manually.
Now I see that this is not a documentation issue, this is a lack of functionality.
I think all users will be happy to see the built-in functionality to set cookies without workarounds and bandaids.

Oh, I didn't know that it's possible to use the helper class. Thank you for adding this to the document!

One more question left: how to add multiple cookies with the helper class? Convert cookie objects to strings and merge manually? Can it also be added to the document? I believe this question will arise with many developers.
Is it possible to integrate a list of cookie objects into the client and free up users from manual operations?

I also had this problem a few moments ago, actually. I tried something here symfony/symfony#49351, we'll see where it goes 👍
