Retrieving cookies from HttpResponse

I have a controller action that I call via Ajax in which I set a cookie like this:

Response.Cookies["Notifications"].Value = "false";
Response.Cookies["Notifications"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1);

In another controller action I am checking for this cookie like this:

if(Request.Cookies["Notifications"] != null && 
    Request.Cookies["Notifications"].Value =="false")
//Do something here

The problem is that Request.Cookies["Notifications"] is always null. I have verified that the cookie is getting set via FireBug. I'm testing this via visual studio's web built in web server.

The problem was with the fact that I was also setting this:

Response.Cookies["Notifications"].Secure = true;

And of course the cookie isn't being sent because I'm not using Https.

Just an idea/advice... You could fire Fiddler to sniff the actual http traffic and see how and if the cookies are being transferred in the http headers

When in FireBug do you see the cookie sent back in the request? Also you can have a look at raw request to see if it is actually there
