What is the 'ihm' cookie?

I'm trying to write a short Python script to download some images. The script works great for non-private images.

For private images, I've seen some references to the "SMSESS" cookie being required, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient.

I've watched what my browser sends, and there is a magic-looking-to-me "ihm" cookie that seems to be required. I can paste the brower's ihm and SMSESS cookies in the Python code to get a working download. How can I create this ihm cookie manually?

Oddly, I can even mix the browser's "ihm" cookie with my Python session's "SMSESS" cookie and still get a download.
