httpapplication in ASP.NET modules problem

[Paul]

Hi all,

I have an ASP.NET application, and in that, I have a helper module for doing
common tasks. One of the things I'd like to do is basically add a
getMemberID function, that references a cookie value, does some magic, and
returns the memberid.

My problem is:

The Request.Cookies is just not there in side the module (yet on code behind
it is).

After hours of search Google, msdn, and a million other resources, I've
decided to bail out and ask for help.

Can anyone suggest?

Thanks

Paul
