Everything looks in order.

There are probably two things that could be a problem: 1. You say all applications are in the same domain, have you had a look at the cookies file to see if the domain values are identical. 2. The owa_cookie.get cannot read the cookie from the cookies file because it might be written with different parameters, format etc.

A possible workaround is to call an asp procedure from your machine using utl_http.request_pieces(url); to check the cookie. This allows you to call other html files/cgi scripts from within your procedure. OR if all else fails you could do a straight redirection from your PL/SQL to the asp apps and let them handle it and redirect the client back if neccesaary.
