No, that also won't work unless the only cookie is PHPSESSID as this
library will still return the ENTIRE header.

the situation where multiple "Set-Cookie" headers are sent from the
backend and there exists a need to parse several of them, however I
believe the vmod_std module now includes a collect() subroutine, which
is capable of similar functionality by collapsing all headers of the
same type into one long header of that same type:
