[feature] Allow conan to provide cookie to repository

We have an Artifactory instance which behind an Oauth2 reverse proxy and so doesn’t understand basic auth. As such we are finding it impractical to download packages from it.

It would be nice to be able to provide a parameter, e.g. --cookie "token=xxx", to Conan which would be used on all HTTP requests. This would allow us to get through the proxy using a cookie.

Sorry I have forgotten to comment. We are using Conan 1.22.2 and this is fixed. Also tring 1.27.1 and we are still able to authenticate with Artifactory, so I am closng this.

Sorry, answered my own question by using the trace log:

{"_action": "COMMAND", "name": "authenticate", "parameters": {"password": "**********", "remote_name": "conan-local", "skip_auth": false}, "time": 1576147060.920432}
{"_action": "COMMAND", "name": "get_remote_by_name", "parameters": {}, "time": 1576147060.923322}

{"_action": "EXCEPTION", "class": "ForbiddenException", "message": "403: Forbidden. [Remote: conan-local]", "time": 1576147061.013645}

It seems to be using an Authorization header. Guess I need to do some digging.
