It seems that cookie-in returns a string, not a cookie object. Is this a recent change or am I misunderstanding the docs?

Indeed, incoming cookies are only returned as strings and this has always been the case. I understand that in theory the client could send path and domain attributes with the cookie, but I think in practice this never happens. At least it seems nobody using Hunchentoot was bothered with this so far.
I agree that the documentation is a bit misleading. Although the chapter about cookies starts with "OUTGOING cookies [...] are CLOS objects" which one could construe as meaning that incoming cookies aren't... :)

Yeah, I think the cookie-in being described as returning a "cookie" is what threw me off.
