# Downloading Files with Requests Using Selenium Webdriver Session Cookies

Here is the translated text of the Japanese blog article into English:

```python
cookies = {
    cookie['name']: cookie['value']
    for cookie in driver.get_cookies()
}

response = requests.get(
    url,
    headers={'User-Agent': self.user_agent},
    cookies=cookies
)
```
<p>Additional Note: Extracting zip</p>
```python
zf = zipfile.ZipFile(io.BytesIO(response.content), 'r')
for filedata in zf.infolist():
    if filedata.filename.endswith(xxxx):
        content = zf.read(filedata).decode('ascii')
```
