url: support auth.cookiesfile for adding cookies to HTTP requests Mercurial can't currently send cookies as part of HTTP requests. Some authentication systems use cookies. So, it seems like adding support for sending cookies seems like a useful feature. This patch implements support for reading cookies from a file and automatically sending them as part of the request. We rely on the "cookiejar" Python module to do the heavy lifting of parsing cookies files. We currently only support the Mozilla (really Netscape-era) cookie format. There is another format supported by cookielib and we may want to consider using that, especially since the Netscape cookie parser can't parse ports. It wasn't immediately obvious to me what the format of the other parser is, so I didn't know how to test it. I /think/ it might be literal "Cookie" header values, but I'm not sure. If it is more robust than the Netscape format, we may want to just support it.

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension::
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
