Feature request: Make jar function from request accessible

[chdanielmueller]

Hi,
Could you please make the jar function from request accessible?
https://github.com/request/request#requestjar
With this function it would be possible to create multiple cookie jars.
Thanks,
Daniel

makes sense. wanna try to tackle it?

maybe we can simply yield the request object:

hippie().configure((request) => {
   const jar = request.jar();
   request.defaults({ jar });
   return request;
});

does this make sense? it also introduces a nice side effect which will enable people to replace the request module with something that has the same API.

Hey @vesln
I tried my best but I didn't get it to work...
I rewrote my mocha tests to work around this issue.
Sorry that I was not able to contribute to your amazing project.
Keep up the good work.

@chdanielmueller no worries! If there is anything I can do to help you implement it, please let me know!

[chdanielmueller]

@vesln If you get the time to implement this by yourself it would be cool.
It's quite a workaround which I am using at the moment.

I will add it to my queue.

@CacheControl would you be interested in giving this a try?

@vesln I'm currently in the middle of a couple projects and don't have much bandwidth, but I'll add it to my queue as well
