Get form authentification cookie from asp.net

Question

I'm creating some dynamic pictures with the IHttpHandler interface. Then I wont to create a pdf document, where those pictures are included.

But I need to copy the authentication cookie to my new HttpWebRequest object.

How can this be achieved?

I use normal asp.net forms.

You don't need to copy the Formauthentication cookie and write it again in HttpWebRequest within the HttpHandler if the handler is served from the same domain. The cookie is already available within HttpWebRequest in the handler.
