#013920: Question of intereset: Cookies part of response, but not of request?

Cookies are a Web/Http specific thing, so upfront making them part of request and response is a double-edged sword. Nevertheless since their variables in the struct can be empty its not that big an issue.

What makes me wonder:

ezcMvcResponse has a cookies variable for cookies to be send to the user.

ezcMvcRequest has no cookies variable.

That is you have to use $_COOKIE and what I find a bit dangerous: $request->variables uses a reference to $_REQUEST which is not obvious upfront and may lead to security problems that a user of ezcMvcRequest does not realize.

Operating System:
PHP Version: (please be specific, like '4.4.3' or '5.1.5')
Database and version:
