I want to know if, when I make a $.post(...) with jQuery, does any cookie is sent to the server in the post request?
Thanks!

Without knowing for sure I'm going to say a big fat yes because I'm in that sort of mood!
To test it, post to a page which examines the request.

+1 for teaching a good way to figure stuff out on your own instead of just giving an answer =)

A:
Cookies are sent with Ajax requests.
When the HTTPOnly flag is set for a cookie, this cookie is hidden from client-side scripts, but the cookie is still sent with Ajax requests.

HTTPOnly doesn't affect AJAX/HTTP requests, it only hides the cookie from the client-side script. It will still be sent to the server.

Using the same cookies on the client and the server is not possible when you have httpOnlyCookies switched on. There is very good reason switch this on too:

This is incorrect. Have a look at this question for a really good explanation of HTTPOnly+AJAX: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27972/are-httponly-cookies-a-viable-option-for-an-ajax-website

Using Firefox+Firebug you can see exactly what jQuery sends, and how. Useful for debugging!
