Why is Request.Cookies[".ASPXAUTH"] missing when using Chrome or IE9?

I have the following code:

var httpCookie = context.HttpContext.Request.Cookies[".ASPXAUTH"];

This works in Firefox. [".ASPXAUTH"] is listed and found. However in Chrome and IE9 it is missing and thus httpCookie is null.

Why is this and how can I resolve this please?

Many thanks in advance.

To get the cookie of the authentication of your application, you could try something like this:

HttpCookie appCookie = context.HttpContext.Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];

to Decrypt it, you could use:

FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(appCookie.Value);

// you can access all properties using the 'ticket' object. 
string cookikePath = ticket.CookiePath;
DateTime expiration = ticket.Expiration;
bool expired = ticket.Expired;
bool isPersistent = ticket.IsPersistent;
DateTime issueDate = ticket.IssueDate;
string name = ticket.Name;
string userData = ticket.UserData;
string version = ticket.Version;
