title: Not able to add Cookies for IE8 browser (Java, Selenium Grid, WebDriver 2.41.0)
body: <p>I create remote webdriver as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>URL hubUrl =  new URL("http://172.30.234.216:4444/wd/hub");
  DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
  capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ForSeleniumServer.ENSURING_CLEAN_SESSION, true);
  webDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(hubUrl, capabilities);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In each test scenario I have a step which sets some value into Browser cookies.</p>
  
  <pre><code>//....
  webDriver.navigate().to("192.168.0.3:8060");
  webDriver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("parameter_name", "parameter_value", "127.0.0.1", "/", null));
  //....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As far as I know, we can't set the cookies until some page be loaded.
  That's why I opened an empty page before setting cookies.</p>
  
  <p>This approach works for Chrome and FireFox, but doesn't for IE8 (I didn't try another versions of IE).
  I have the next error:</p>
