Everything works as expected with the exception of the httponly flag which is not being set. I have used Firefox and Chrome to view the headers but neither show as having the httponly flag set.

How are you checking to see if the flag is set?

Tools + Options + Privacy + Show Cookies?

Yeah, I can confirm that widget doesn't indicate whether or not httponly is set, but the header is sent 

$ perl -MCGI::Cookie -le " print CGI::Cookie->new( qw/ -name mycookie 
+/, -value => [qw/ foo bar /], qw/ -secure 1 -httponly 1 -expires +3M 
+/ ) "
mycookie=foo&bar; path=/; expires=Thu, 10-May-2012 07:54:06 GMT; secur
+e; HttpOnly

From the Web Console ( Ctrl+Shift+K ) I can confirm that cookies set with httponly don't show up in document.cookie

So yeah, it works
