The encrypted text is much more that i showed and this is repeating again and again in console

Answer 1

I believe that the encrypted content is the content of the cookie. Also, you say you're not getting any errors, then how do you explain the warning provided in the output:

WARNING: Cookie rejected: "BALANCEID=mycluster2.node3". Illegal path attribute "/resources"

Check that you are using the cookie correctly
