Websocket Cookie

Question

I'm just new to websocket, I don't know how to access to these cookie in websocket request header. It doesn't have domain or path. Is there any way to use javascript to read or re-rewrite these cookie?

This is the screenshot

Websocket request looks like HTTP, but it's not. So, cookie header is not available. As a workaround, you may send cookie after a handshake. Something like:

var ws = new Websocket(...);
ws.onopen = function(e) {
    ws.send(document.cookie);
}

And pick up the cookie on server side.
