Cookies set in Server side not accessible in client side (ASP.NET)

Question

Im setting a up a cookie value from server side in a button event as follows.

Private Sub btn_set_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btn_set.Click
    Dim myCookie As HttpCookie = New HttpCookie("downloadToken", "sandeep")
    myCookie.Expires = Now.AddDays(1)
    myCookie.Secure = False
    myCookie.HttpOnly = True
    Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie)
End Sub

But when I check the value of downloadToken from clientside using JQUERY Cookie plugin, it returns undefined.

 Cookies.get("downloadToken"); //returns undefined

Immediately after Response.cookies.add, there is a file download code. That is actually sending file to the client for downloading.

 Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & FileInfo.Name)
 Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", FileInfo.Length.ToString())
 Response.AddHeader("Connection", "Keep-Alive")
 Response.ContentType = “application/octet-stream”
 Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8
 Response.TransmitFile(FileInfo.FullName)
 Response.Flush()
 Response.End()

May I know Whats wrong in my code?

Answer 1

I was able to solve it. It was because Httponly is set to true.

I changed it

myCookie.HttpOnly = False

Now am getting the value in client side
