How to send a cookie along with HttpGet in Java

Question

I am trying to send a cookie along with my HttpGet request, but everytime I try I havent been able to successfully send it. I also tried to modify the headers directly, here is my code:

        DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();  

    CookieStore store = new BasicCookieStore();
    store.addCookie(Authentication.getCookie());
    httpclient.setCookieStore(store);

    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost:8080/Search/);  

    //httpget.addHeader("Cookie", Authentication.getCookie().toString());   


    //httpget.addHeader((Header) Authentication.getCookie());




    try {
        // Execute HTTP Get Request  
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);  

      String responseData = ResponseHandler.getResponseBody(response);


    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

This is actually the correct implementation for the HttpClient 4.0.1, I had just had not been getting the correct cookie.
