Can you add the code? Sidenote: You know it's *cancel* instead of *cencel* right? — Rob, May 23 '13 at 08:29

The server will send you a Set-Cookie header which you will have to use to get the cookie and send it in all other requests. Here is a small demonstration.

String cookie;
private static String cookieHeader = "Cookie";
private static String Header_SetCookie = "Set-Cookie";

public HttpResponse get(String url) {
    HttpGet getMethod = new HttpGet(url);
    DefaultHttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();
    if(cookie!=null) {
        getMethod.addHeader(cookieHeader, cookie);
    }
    HttpResponse response = hc.execute(getMethod);
    Header[] headers = response.getAllHeaders();
    for (int i = 0; i < headers.length; i++) {
        Header h = headers[i];
        if(h.getName().equals(Header_SetCookie)){
            cookie = h.getValue();
        }
    }
    return response;
}
