Hi Geoffrey !
Nothing's wrong.
I think that happens because I'm using a bleding edge Apache 2.2.0,
mod_perl from svn, Perl 5.8.8 ...
I preferer put double checks in my getCookie() to deal with both situations.
I know that Cookie is a request header, but this is the uniq solution I
found after
2 days of investigations. If you've more elegant solution, I'll try it
imediatly.
Hope this strange behaviour appears only on my box 8-)
/cheers
Younes

Finally I come with a working solution.
sub getCookie {
my ( $r ) = @_;
# check for both 'Cookie' and 'Set-Cookie' HTTP headers
return $r->headers_in->{'Cookie'} || $r->headers_in->{'Set-Cookie'};
}
but that's just wrong :)
Set-Cookie is a response header, so it will be set in $r->headers_out when
the server decides to send a cookie to the client. Cookie is a request
header, so you glean it from $r->headers_in if the client has one to give
you. you'll never see Set-Cookie in $r->headers_in unless someone has made
a grave mistake.
you can see the gory details in the rfc
