Details:

This may be an issue of strict regexing where it needn't be - please let me
know if I should report this in a bug repo for cookielib instead.

I'm on macOS 10.14.6, wget 1.20.3.

Command line:
> $ wget --save-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --post-data
'username=myUserName&password=myPassword' --delete-after <url>

However, line 39 of _MozillaCookieJar.py (cookielib) shows it looking for
> magic_re = "#( Netscape)? HTTP Cookie File"
in order to validate the passed cookie file.  wget, however, produces a
cookies file that begins with
> # HTTP cookie file

The lack of upper-case c and f cause cookielib to choke and stop processing
the cookies file.
