_webView.LoadHtmlString(response.Content, new NSUrl(baseUrl));

The NSDictionary API is fairly trivial too:

var props = new NSMutableDictionary ();
props.Add (NSHttpCookie.KeyOriginURL, new
NSString("http://yodawg.com"));
props.Add (NSHttpCookie.KeyName, new NSString("iherd"));
props.Add (NSHttpCookie.KeyValue, new NSString("ulikecookies"));
props.Add (NSHttpCookie.KeyPath, new NSString("/"));
