title: JQuery cookie extension will set a cookie with a path but will not read it
body: <p>First, set a <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cookie</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery.cookie('monster', 'big', { path : '/sesame/'});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Next, try to read it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery.cookie('monster');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Firefox tells me that the cookie has indeed been set. The value is <code>big</code> and the path is <code>/sesame/</code>. And yet when I tried to read the cookie it wouldn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Alternate version of the question: How do I specify the path when <em>reading</em> a cookie?</p>
  
  <p>As an experiment I used the following syntax but it sets a cookie rather than read one. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$.cookie('cookie_name', { path: '/path/' });
  </code></pre>
