    A) If you set the cookie in code ...you already know what the value is ;)

    B) The cookie won't actually be set until AFTER the the request is finished. So while you won't get an error, trying to access the value in the same request is inaccurate and rather pointless because you've no idea whether the cookie was actually set or not ...
