cannot get 'http-only; secure" cookie from res.cookies about unirest-nodejs

[nijikokun]

Are you using https ?

[anklos]

yes, the get request url is https.

[nijikokun]

Can you give me examples of what you're trying to do?

[anklos]

 request = unirest.get "https://xxxxx"

  request.end( (res) ->
    console.log res.cookies
  )

[nijikokun]

Look at the cookie header(s):

res.headers['cookie']
res.headers['set-cookie']

If the cookie you are looking for is not there the reason could be that it requires authentication or session identifier to see the cookie.

[anklos]

the content in res.headers['cookie'], res.headers['set-cookies'] and res.cookies are the same.

if there is no such limitation top off your head, it probably because the cookie in the browser was stored from previous requests.

[nijikokun]

Yes, a session based cookie, with minimal context that is what this sounds like

[anklos]

very likely. thanks!

[anklos]

@nijikokun OK find the reason. Because the request was redirected a few times. The data in set-cookie of the first request was not recorded in the final response res.cookie.

Is there a way to get the set-cookie in the first redirected response?

Thanks!

[nijikokun]

Looking into it, might be an issue in the underlying library

[anklos]

i tested with request, it also not returns set-cookie from first redirect.
