I am using XMLHttpRequest to communicate with a remote server. After the initial authentication, sessions are tracked by passing a session id/token via cookie with every request. Everything works as expected. XMLHttpRequest passes the cookie with every request.

My connectedTV widget has 1 full screen view that instantiates the mediaplayer singleton object and sets a playlist of urls that fetch mp3's from said remote server. The http requests by the mediaplayer do not include the cookie: the http cookie header is empty.

Can someone please verify that this is the expected behaviour. Is there a method that sets the cookie for the mediaplayer object? Would there be a security concern setting the cookie because it is a singleton?

Thank you in advance,
