socket.request.headers.cookie returns string, not object

[garrensweet]

Hello,

I've looked and dug around for quite some time and I can't find a reason for this, however, in some environments the return from socket.request.headers.cookie is actually a string, and not an object.

I have tried in a few environments with the same code and had a 100% success rate getting a string. Here's a tear down of a much larger application to reproduce:

var http = require('http'),
      cookieParser = require('socket.io-cookie-parser');

var app = http.createServer( function( req, res) {
} ).listen(3000);

var io = require('socket.io')(app);

io.use(cookieParser()).use(function(socket, next){ 
    console.log(typeof socket.request.headers.cookie);
});
