This is by design.

The session cookie is just a random identifier which the server uses to map the request to a particular session object. As such, it isn't meant to be read from the client, so the cookie has the HttpOnly flag set. This is a good thing, because it prevents malicious script from hijacking your session.

Even if you could read the session cookie, it's just a meaningless ID. Values stored within the session will not be available from your script.
