When is the value of an authentication cookie sent from the browser to the
server - when the value is read from the Cookies collection? Or, is it
possible that the Cookies collection is populated immediately on the server
when a new browser session is created?

Thanks!
 
the browser sends all relevant cookies on every page request. the server
reads the request cookies and creates the request cookie collection. there
is a response cookie collection (those cookies that will be sent back to the
browser). forms authentication adds the authentication cookie to every
respone (to bump the expir time)
