How to set cookie in the tryout action in the final swagger-ui about swagger-py-codegen

[rejown]

In our design, the HTTP RESTful API will not accept cookies, it accept token in the request header. In other words, the RESTful API is not browser-oriented.
The main reason is the cookies are unsafe. you can google "restful api + cookies" for more information about this subject.
The appropriate authentication approach is OAuth and scope in the swagger specification:
http://swagger.io/specification/#securityDefinitionsObject
For the browser usage, you should implement your own cookies business.

Thanks.
Now my Http RESTful API is designed to need cookie to get the authentication, that's meaning, I need to change it.
Is there any other method if using the current model?

The swagger-py-codegen generated code is not a complete app, but only a skeleton. you can change and extend the skeleton code on your own way, even custom the code template.
There is nothing magic, the generated code is just a flask app(precisely flask-restful app), so extend the app should follow the flask way(and flask-restful).

Thanks Rejown.
I'am studying the swagger and Flask in Python.
