As stated in the similar thread on the user mailing-list:

HttpClient.CookieFile allows you to define a file where cookies will be read.

And HttpClient.UpdateCookies should tell if the previous file will be updated 
during the HTTP request.

gb.xml already know how to parse HTML. The XMLDocument 
class has a 'HTMLFromString' method for that. 

As for gzip encoding, I don't know if HttpClient can deal with that. A test is 
needed.
