Get ArcGIS request token

I'm trying to set advanced permissions, based on a lookup table that is contained in the same mapservice as the layers I want to filter.

To do the request to the lookup table, I need to have a token, which would be the same as the token in the original request. Is there a way to get that token?

I suppose request.getParameter("token") would work, but unfortunately the token isn't always passed in as a request parameter. For instance, when using the ArcGIS rest interface, it can also be passed in as a cookie. The request object doesn't seem to expose that information.

  Using request.getParameter("token") is the only way to do this type of thing today. It works for GET and POST parameters only. We would need to make a change to expose the cookie and x-esri-authorization header variations. I will take a look and see if this is feasible.

  Can anyone provide an example script on how to use the request.getParameter("token") function?   I'm not having any luck getting it to work in my advanced script.
