As it turns out, curl was treating every cookie in the cookie file after the first name=value pair as attributes (basically, ignoring them). Each pair should have its own Set-Cookie line.

It seems that cookies passed to Gnash from the plugin using the environment variable GNASH_COOKIES_IN are not always used by curl_adapter.cpp. It seems that this only happens sometimes due to an obscure timing issue, making it difficult to reproduce.

Anyway, the result is that Gnash receives a 403 HTTP error from youtube when trying to download the FLV.
