+        Apply first Set-Cookie header instead of the last. Experimental.
+
+        Some sites (e.g. [1-3]) may serve two cookies under the same name
+        in Set-Cookie header and expect the first (old) one to be set rather
+        than second (new). However, as of RFC6265 the newer one cookie
+        should be set into cookie store what actually happens.
+        We will workaround this issue by resetting the cookie to
+        the first one manually.
