node js get cookie from 302 redirect

Question

I want to simulate a login with node js. The request is a post request and returns 302.

When i want to simulate it with a request in node i get error:

Unhandled rejection StatusCodeError: 302 

But when i look at google chrome the response is empty but there is a Cookie Response. How can i get this cookie with a node request?

Answer 1

Here is sample code for getting cookies:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: AppConstants.URLs.PROXY,
    data: message,
    xhrFields: {
        withCredentials: true
    },
    success: function(data, status, xhr) {
        console.log("Cookie: " + xhr.getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie"));
    }
});

You can set cookies from server side at node.js using Cookies-js

How can i get this cookie with a node request?

var jsdom = require('jsdom');
var window = jsdom.jsdom().parentWindow;
var Cookies = require('cookies-js')(window);

// First set a cookie
Cookies.set('key', 'value');

// Get the cookie value
Cookies.get('key'); // "value"

// Using the alias
Cookies('key'); // "value"

Hope this helps.
