Description

At the moment the only possibilty to get a value from a cookie is this:

lib.files = TEXT
lib.files {
    data = global:HTTP_COOKIE_VARS|files
}

where files is the cookie name.
The problem with this? It does NOT work if "register_long_arrays" in php.ini is off and by the way:
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
from: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

I would like to create a patch for the core which does the following:

add a new item to "function getData" in class.tslib_content.php for example:

case 'cookie' :
    $retVal = $this->getCookie($key);
    break;

and then a function which basically does this (of course with more error checking)
function getCookie($key) {
    return $_COOKIE[$key];
}

any comments on that or shall i commit to gerrit already?

Should be working already with

data = global:_COOKIE|files

which will then access $_COOKIE['files']

I think this should be "Rejected" because there is already a way to do it. If status is "Accepted", the report statys in the list of active bugs (it shouldn't!)

can be closed since its working well.

it would be good to add this to the documentation since other people are asking this question as well and i even saw a post here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8740573/is-it-possible-to-get-cookie-with-typoscript
that says its not even possible which is wrong.

I've updated the "correct answer" on stackoverflow :)
It would be nice, if you could edit your answer and put the typoscript in it, as a guy in the comments ask for it.
