Answer 1

// Grab Set-Cookie headers:
List cookies = connection.getHeaderFields().get("Set-Cookie");

// ...

// Send them back in subsequent requests:
for (String cookie : cookies) {
    connection.addRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie.split(";", 1)[0]);
}

Above code will work for sending multiple cookies just use setRequestProperty instead of addRequestProperty. The working code is:

// Grab Set-Cookie headers:
List cookies = connection.getHeaderFields().get("Set-Cookie");

// ...

// Send them back in subsequent requests:
for (String cookie : cookies) {
    connection.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie.split(";", 1)[0]);
}
