Makes sense.

I briefly wondered if users want to be able to selectively store
cookies only from certain sites but not from others.  But if we are
going to build this on top of Kyle J. McKay's "Per URL http.<url>.* 
configuration" series, that will fall out as a natural consequence,
I think.

Please sign-off your patch.  Thanks.
