How to check if .ASPXAUTH cookie exists with javascript

I have a strange problem. I want to check if .ASPXAUTH cookie exists with javascript. I do it like this:

authx = document.cookie.indexOf(".ASPXAUTH" + "=");

and the 'authx' value is always -1. But if I tray to find some other cookie like: 

foo = document.cookie.indexOf("bar" + "=");

it works. Is there some restriction between javascript and .ASPXAUTH cookie???

Solution

  • I solved it. The problem was, that I had set the 

    HttpOnly = true;

    which prevents the javascript accessing the cookie. I just set it to false and it works.
