Hi jsmccombs,

Can you post the actual full rule you were testing and the version you were testing on? I tried the following on 9.3.1, 9.4.7, 10.0.0 and didn't see the issue you're describing:

 
    log local0. "path: [HTTP::path]"

    log local0. "\[string length \[HTTP::cookie JSESSIONID\]\]: [string length [HTTP::cookie JSESSIONID]]" 
 }

: path: /no_JSESSIONID_cookie

: [HTTP::header value Cookie]:

: [HTTP::cookie exists JSESSIONID]: 0

: [string length [HTTP::cookie JSESSIONID]]: 0

: path: /JSESSIONID_cookie_without_a_value

: [HTTP::header value Cookie]: JSESSIONID=

: [HTTP::cookie exists JSESSIONID]: 0

: [string length [HTTP::cookie JSESSIONID]]: 0

: path: /JSESSIONID_cookie_with_a_value

: [HTTP::header value Cookie]: JSESSIONID=test

: [HTTP::cookie exists JSESSIONID]: 1

: [string length [HTTP::cookie JSESSIONID]]: 4
