Are browser cookies and other headers visible during HTTPS?

When using a HTTPS connection are browser cookies and HTTP headers visible as plain text? That is, is only the body of the HTTP content encrypted?

All https is http over an encrypted connection i.e. the contents of the TCP/IP packets are encrypted.

Both the request and response are fully encrypted – so the cookies and all headers are protected. About the only thing visible to an external sniffer is the host and remote address (IP) that you're requesting.
