Your code can't work: you create only one cookie object when loading
your file, and your final cookie array contains several times the same
cookie object.

You must create one cookie object for each cookie stored in your text file.

Maybe it won't change nothing, I don't know. But who can guess what
QtWebkit does with an array of several times the same cookie object?
