Cookie forwarding when using reverse proxy

[Liang Jin]

Thanks, Igor.

I was not thinking right in the early morning. I was trying to get
cookies from domain2.com while accessing domain1.com

This is impossible as it will impose security issues. Anyway, I was
able to use Javascript to overcome the problem I had.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

-Liang
