It looks like Sun provides ambiguous documentation, because in my version I
read:
--------------------------------------------
public Cookie[] getCookies()
Returns an array containing all of the Cookie objects the browser sent with
this request. This method returns null if the browser did not send any
cookies.
Returns:
an array of all the Cookies included with this request, or null if the
request has no cookies
------------------------------------------
What documentation are you using, maybe mine for JSDK 2.1 is obsolete now.
