How to read http cookies from adobe desktop Air app using flex/flash builder in AS 3.0 ??

Im developing Adobe desktop air app where i need to read the session id from the cookie of a http request.

I have found a property called URLRequest.manageCookies supported by AIR so i Hope there should be a way to read the cookies as well. Im Using Flash Builder 4.5

Please provide any reference code or guide me for this research;

searched a lot regarding on this web.

Most results lead to local shared object or reading cookies fr a webpage using javascript and ExternalInterface.

I want to read http cookies not Local shared Object and in a desktop AIR application.

Im using Flash builder 4.5

Thanks

Hari
