How to retrieve Cookies with System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage

Question

I have this function:

 [HttpPost] [Route("api/authenticate")] public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Authenticate(Auth a) { var cookies = Request.Headers.GetCookies() }

After seeing a lot of posts on StackOverflow, I saw people trying to do this:

CookieHeaderValue cookie = Request.Headers.GetCookies("session-id").FirstOrDefault();

But I don't see the FirstOrDefault method. When I run GetCookies, I got a string array with one element, and inside of it:

"{cookieKey=cookieValue; cookie2=cookie2}"

Should I convert this string to dictionary, or am I missing something on the API?

Quite hack, but works

using System.Linq; var cookies = Request.Headers .GetCookies()[0].Cookies .ToDictionary(cookie => cookie.Key, cookie=> cookie.Value); return cookies["cookie-index"];

How the hell the API does not have anything for this?

HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies.Get(CookieName);

This isn't System.Net, though
