Very recently I had to get cookies for a download using httpUtils, here's how it worked for me.
First I initialized manager and handler (in appStart), as seen in Erel's code in this old thread. Then, in the sub used to download the file, I got cookies and began download.

B4X:
'in process_globals
Dim manager As JavaObject
Dim handler As JavaObject
'in appStart
manager.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.CookieManager", null)
handler.InitializeStatic("java.net.CookieHandler").RunMethod("setDefault", Array(manager))
'download file sub
sub downloadFileUsingCookiesFromWebView(downloadURL as string)
Dim cookieStore As JavaObject=manager.RunMethodJO("getCookieStore",Null)
cookie=""
Dim s As List=cookieStore.RunMethodJO("getCookies",Null)
If s.Size>0 Then
For i=0 To s.Size-1
Dim aCookie As String=s.Get(i)
cookie=cookie & ";" & aCookie
Next
cookie=cookie.SubString(1)
End If
' here's the download job
Dim j As HttpJob
j.Initialize("downloadFile",Me)
j.Download(donwloadUrl)
j.GetRequest.SetHeader("cookie",cookie)
j.GetRequest.SetHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0")
end subWorked great for me.
