Enable propagation of cookies to the end user's browser through Web Clipper.

We have a URL which sets some cookies in the response . Example: www.ibm.com.

We have clipped this URL in our portal using the WebClipper portlet, but the cookie value set by the server is not propagated to the browser through which the user accesses the Web Clipper portlet.

In the InfoCenter it is mentioned that the cookie set by the server is not propagated through WebClipper to the user's browser, for security reasons.

However we need to propagate the cookie from the server which the WebClipper accesses for content, to the browser in which the user views the clipped content.

Is there a way to enable such propagation of cookies?

Please note, the InfoCenter mentions a way of enabling cookies from the client conversation, to be propagated to the server, but this is not what we want to do.
