For some websites the starting of the webpage with complex authentication
and multiple redirects, w3m does not support. But like with curl package in
case we can take the cookies from say firefox export cookies plugin and
supply to w3m (with a new flag to take user supplied cookie file), I guess
it can render the remaining webpages which are where we spend our time.

This allows passing a cookie file, but one still has to convert the curl
cookies to w3m's format.
