Worked for me as well. Thanks for pointing out a solution!

>  When sending cookies, some HTTP clients (for example the version of Apache Commons HttpClient used in railo 4.x) normally send an RFC 2965 Cookie2 header:
> {noformat}
> Cookie: mansession_id="e071e431"
> Cookie2: $Version="1"
> {noformat}
> This was recently deprecated by RFC 6265 but is still seen in the wild. Unfortunately ast_http_get_cookies() in http.c does this:
> {noformat}
> if (!strncasecmp(v->name, "Cookie", 6)) { 
>         char *tmp = ast_strdupa(v->value);
>         if (cookies) {  
>                 ast_variables_destroy(cookies);
>         }               
>         cookies = parse_cookies(tmp);
> }
> {noformat}
> i.e. only compares the first 6 characters, and because the Cookie2 header appears after the Cookie header, destroys the previously saved cookies. As a result Asterisk doesn't pick up the authentication cookie and so AMI fails as it thinks the request is not authenticated.
