Cookies question

Hello all,

I had some problems with setting and getting array from cookie in controller. I concluded that cookies would get just a first value if a cookie is array, while request.cookies would get whole array:

cookies[:arr_cookie] [1,2] cookies[:arr_cookie] #1 request.cookies[:arr_cookie] = #[1,2]

Is this normal behaviour and if it is, can anyone explain what are reasons for that (performance?, simplicity?)

best regards, Bojan
