It seems then that I assumed too much. I figured if CF writes it, then CF
should have access to all of it. If the client sends the cookie back with
every http request, CF should have a way of accessing the cookie's
attributes.
Page 11-5: "...You would access a cookie simply by using it and prefixing
it with the Cookie prefix."
There's nothing there stipulating that the attribute values (other than
name and value) are not available. Perhaps adding the word "value" or
"variable" after cookie above might have made it a little clearer. Or an
outright statement that the other 4 attributes are write only.
Silly me.
