reading cookies

Hello,
   I was wondering how to use HttpClient classes
and methods to get the value of a cookie.  I want
to fetch the cookie named "SessionID".  How would
I do that?  This is the code I have so far ...

           PostMethod method = new PostMethod(url);
            method.setFollowRedirects(true);    
       
            NameValuePair[] data = {
              new NameValuePair("user", "joe"),
              new NameValuePair("password", "bloggs")
            };
            method.setRequestBody(data);

            // execute request.

            // read response

            String sessionId = ???

            // Release the connection.
            method.releaseConnection();


Thanks for all help, Dave

Dave, 
Have a look at the the following example:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/jakarta-commons/httpclient/src/examples/FormLoginDemo.java?rev=1.1&only_with_tag=HTTPCLIENT_2_0_BRANCH

For more detailed information refer to the Javadoc of the HttpState
class and the CookieSpec interface.  Hope this helps a bit.
