无法从标头获取set-cookie以响应NodeJS

Question

I have tried 3 differents http library in node

1. node request
2. node requestify
3. node needle

All of the 3 libraries can't get my set-cookie from my response

Request

15:32:52 - WARN  - now testing with request
{ 'x-powered-by': 'Express',
  'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
  'content-length': '4591',
  date: 'Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:32:52 GMT',
  connection: 'keep-alive' }

Needle

15:32:52 - WARN  - now testing with needle
{ 'x-powered-by': 'Express',
  'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
  'content-length': '4591',
  date: 'Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:32:52 GMT',
  connection: 'close' }

Requestify

15:32:52 - WARN  - now testing with requestify
{ 'x-powered-by': 'Express',
  'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
  'content-length': '4591',
  date: 'Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:32:52 GMT',
  connection: 'keep-alive' }

Here's the result header with a wget

Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8000... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  X-Powered-By: Express

  Connection: keep-alive
Length: 1986 (1.9K) [text/html]

If this can help, here are my headers from my request

var commonHeaders = {
    'Accept': '*/*',
    'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
    'Accept-Language': 'fr',
    'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive',
    'Pragma': 'no-cache',
    'User-Agent': 'request'
};

While firefox, chrome, and wget can get the full header, I am not able to do authentification with node. Is it a probleme with Node ? Should I do that in Python ?

Edit :

I have tried to remove the data posted through node, I also have the same response than with wget. While I am using a browser and go through the login action, it return my json + set-cookie.

Why isn't that possible with node ?

Answer 1

You probably don't use the cookies correctly. Usually they are not accessed directly as header variables. See request documentation for how to handle cookies, there are good examples there.

Cookies are disabled by default (else, they would be used in subsequent requests). To enable cookies, set jar to true (either in defaults or options) and install tough-cookie.
