Synopsis: 
Can't set multiple cookies in servlet response headers through Ajp13

Description:
If a servlet sets more than one cookie using HttpServletResponse.addCookie(), one one of the cookies is actually returned in the response. This occurs because the HTTP header fields are returned by a mechanism which can return only one instance of each HTTP header field. 

Specifically:

Ajp13ConnectorResponse.endHeaders(..) calls
MimeHeaders.names() which returns a MimeHeadersEnumerator.
This Enumerator builds its list of values from a HashTable,
from the comments "to guarantee uniqueness". The Ajp13..endHeaders() call then loops over this (unique) list of field names, passing each as the argument to MimeHeaders.getHeader(headerName), which returns one value (from observation, the first one set).
