Setting up httponly cookie in socket.io callback

Question

Im trying to avoid using express sessions and do user authentication with socket.io only (mean setting up and checking httponly cookies), but this code do not work:

io.on('connection', function (socket) {
    socket.on('signin', function (data) {
        socket.request.headers.cookie = 'COOKIE=testcookie'; // do not work
    });
});

io.of('/logged').use(function (socket, next) {
    socket.request.headers.cookie; // Empty
});

I check sources - there is no appropriate way to do this, so its beter to use express.cookie management instead
