Description

Similar to #231, there's no way to inspect the already defined Cookies in the request within a Filter.

I've not verified if there's such method in the Scala API though.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Java play.libs.ws.StandaloneWSRequest API and compare the related request in issue #231; also check whether the Scala API already exposes the request's cookies. Done means Java filters can inspect cookies already defined on the request, with corresponding API behavior verified where applicable.
