Missing cookies in HTTP response Python

I'm building an extra provider for Sickbeard and having problems with my cookies. I've been looking for a long time now after why cookies are missing in the HTTP Response when using requests.

login_params = {'uid': sickbeard.PROVIDER_USERNAME,
                'pwd': sickbeard.PROVIDER_PASSWORD,
               }

try:
    response = self.session.post(self.urls['login'], data=login_params, timeout=30)
except (requests.exceptions.ConnectionError, requests.exceptions.HTTPError), e:
    logger.log(u'Unable to connect to ' + self.name + ' provider: ' +ex(e), logger.ERROR)
    return False


The response only contains one cookie the __cdfuid cookie:

requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(self.session.cookies)['__cfduid']


The cookies that I get (and want) when logging into the provider are __cdfuid | uid | pass:

requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(self.session.cookies)['__cfduid']
requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(self.session.cookies)['uid'] #Not passed
requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(self.session.cookies)['pass'] #Not passed


I don't know if it matters but the __cdfuid cookie is the only one that has HttpOnly and path=/ parameters set. The other two just has expiration and the actual data.

response.cookies contains only the cookies set by that response. If you are redirected you may find some cookies were set by the redirect. These will not be present on response.cookies, though they will be present on response.history[i].cookies.

You should always examine the cookies dictionary on the Session, not the responses, if you want to get a full idea of what cookies have been set.
