How to access set-cookie from response using javascript

I sent a cookie from server side 

ResponseBuilder response = Response.ok( (Object) file );
response.header( "Set-Cookie", "fileDownload=test");

I can already view it under the 'Response Header' of the f12 developer tools console. However, document.cookie returns an empty string. The HttpOnly attribute is also unchecked. I'm also not in incognito mode and have cookies enabled. I've already tried changing the localhost address in case it was a web server problem. Is there a way to check the cookie with java script? I just need to check if it has been passed.

Solution

  • Fixed by adding "path" & "domain" parameter.
