ss-joy/Cookie-header-problem-post

You will find all the code in the server.js file.

Instructions:

• Go to terminal and run the command npm start for starting the development sever.

• There are only two routes/URLs.

  • /get-some-cookies --> for getting cookies and
  • /see-some-cookies --> for logging(viewing) those -cookies in the server console.

Lets send our first request and get some cookies.

Send a GET request to this url : http://localhost:3000/get-some-cookies

This is the output:

So you can see we have got some cookies from the server.And as mentioned in my post they are sent from the server using the Set-cookie http header.

Lets send a second request to the server

Send a GET request to this url : http://localhost:3000/see-some-cookies

Now observe very carefully you are not sending the cookies to the server using the Cookie header. In fact there is no Cookie header.

However , if you see the console you will see that the server has received all the cookies. So it works ,cookies are sent to the server, but not the way you want!!
