Hi Suresh,
Strange problem yu have there, i think this is directly not
possible, you will have to i think use a ServletInputStream to read and
parse the data stream from the CGI script and figure out that a cookie has
been sent and based on that parsed information you will have to use
addCookie method of the HttpServletResponse.
For the format of cookie i suggest you search the RFC's where you
can find the information for the cookie specfications and how it is
transmitted.
Regards
munsingh
May the Force be with you
