`request.cookie(name, cfg)` Read a cookie from the request. Optionally the cookie's signature can be verified. *Parameter* * *name*: the name of the cookie to read from the request. * *cfg* (optional): an object with any of the following properties: * *signed* (optional): an object with any of the following properties: * *secret*: a secret string that was used to sign the cookie. * *algorithm*: hashing algorithm that was used to sign the cookie. Default: *"sha256"*. If *signed* is a string, it will be used as the *secret* instead. If a *secret* is provided, a second cookie with the name *name + ".sig"* will be read and its value will be verified as the cookie value's signature. If the cookie is not set or its signature is invalid, "undefined" will be returned instead. @EXAMPLES ``` var sid = request.cookie("sid", {signed: "keyboardcat"}); ```
