Looking at the source for Connection, I see code similar to my buildHttpContext() method above in your executeRequest() method (works with username/password), and I see code similar to what I need to do for using the Cookie in addCookie(). But I have no way to use/reuse your code. Could you make something like your executeRequest() method public? That might be just what I need - though not sure about the Cookie case (i.e., case where getEmail() is null in executeRequest()).
