Description Jim Evans 2014-08-14 19:53:20 UTC 
In section 12.1.2, the getCookie method is defined as:

    GET /session/{sessionId}/cookie

However, the subsequent prose indicates that a parameter indicating the cookie name to be retrieved can be optionally sent. Given that the command uses an HTTP GET (which is consistent with existing implementations, and likely should not be changed), it cannot have a payload that contains a name.
Comment 1 jleyba 2014-08-14 20:27:11 UTC 
For the existing implementations, GET /session/{sessionId}/cookie returns ALL cookies visible to the current page. GET /session/{sessionId}/cookie/{name} returns a specific cookie.
Comment 2 Jim Evans 2014-08-20 13:27:51 UTC 
As a point of clarification, no existing implementation implements GET /session/{sessionId}/cookie/{name}. They implement DELETE /session/{sessionId}/cookie/{name} for deleting a specific cookie, but the GET verb is entirely undefined.
