title: Accessing cookies from outside POST request
body: <p>I am trying to access a cookie. I have been getting along quite well with</p>
  
  <pre><code>request.cookies.get('cookiename')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which works as it should. That is when the <code>request</code> part of that line is coming from the app itself (me). However, I am receiving a POST request via a webhook. The POST request is not originating from me. So, when I try and do</p>
  
  <pre><code>request.cookies.get('cookiename')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or even</p>
  
  <pre><code>request.cookies
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get back <code>None</code> and <code>{}</code>, respectively. I assume this is because the request object (which does not come from me) doesn't have any cookies. Which makes sense. Is there a way to receive the request, and resend it to myself so that the request come from me, giving me access to my cookies? or should I be able to access my cookies in an alternative way. Not really sure how to go from here. Thanks in advance for anyone who can shed some light onto this issue for me.</p>
