 Some servers require a cookie to be set before they'll give you the
 download you request (for example websvn's server, tigris.org; see
 #24583). To accommodate this, `port fetch` should use a cookie jar.

 For example, if I try to fetch websvn-2.3.1.tar.gz normally, it keeps
 redirecting back and forth between two URLs and the download never
 completes:

 {{{
 $ curl -L --max-redirs 10 -O
 http://websvn.tigris.org/files/documents/1380/47525/websvn-2.3.1.tar.gz
   % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time
 Current
                                  Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left
 Speed
 100   322  100   322    0     0    101      0  0:00:03  0:00:03 --:--:--
 101
 curl: (47) Maximum (10) redirects followed
 }}}

 But if I use a cookie jar, it works fine:

 {{{
 curl -c /tmp/cookiejar -L --max-redirs 10 -O
 http://websvn.tigris.org/files/documents/1380/47525/websvn-2.3.1.tar.gz
   % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time
 Current
                                  Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left
 Speed
 100  773k  100  773k    0     0  79601      0  0:00:09  0:00:09 --:--:--
 73025
 }}}

 I imagine fixing this in MacPorts would just entail a small addition to
 src/pextlib1.0/curl.c to create a temporary file, pass it to curl using
 the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option, and delete the temp file afterward.
