I'm not totally sure. You could try asking on the webkit mailing list.

The webkit session already has its own cookie jar, and maybe adding a
second one is causing problems? Instead of doing:

> SoupCookieJar* fCookieJar = soup_cookie_jar_new();
> soup_session_add_feature(fSession, SOUP_SESSION_FEATURE(fCookieJar));

you should be able to just do

  SoupCookieJar* fCookieJar = soup_session_get_feature(fSession,
SOUP_TYPE_COOKIE_JAR);

and then add the cookie to that. But if that doesn't work, I'm not sure
what to look at next.
