Throwing Exceptions

Is this a totally valid / proper way of handling exceptions? For whatever reason I feel like this is improper ```java private String appendParametersToUrl(String url, String parameter, String string) throws IllegalArgumentException { if (StringUtils.isBlank(parameter) || StringUtils.isBlank(string)) {...

Cookie Confusion

I'm using iron-session to store the information necessary for ConnectKit's Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) to work on a GitHub pages hosted site backed by Supabase edge functions. (ConnectKit expects to have access to a /session endpoint that returns the authenticated user's Ethereum address.) iron-session stores session information as an encrypted string sent back and forth as a cookie. The problem I'm having is if SameSite is set to Lax or Strict, I get an error:
This attempt to set a cookie via a set-cookie header was blocked because it had a SameSite="Lax" attribute but came from a cross-site response which was not a response to a top-level navigation....

What does the backend server listens to??

when u make backend, does your server listen to your pages URL?? that is when u say host your webpage, it is hosted on a url. does the the back listen to THAT url? or the localhost of the machine that hosts the site? The little so knowledge i have about backend thus far, FR and BE communicate with eachother via API. But the question i asked above, this occurred to me when I was thinking about how when u click a link, it redirects user to a certain route.. Now there 2 possible ways that can be done as far as I can think of
We just simply use anchor tags or js with location.href to simply add that route to the Link and redirect. As user lands on that page, static elements r rendered and dynamics infos r fetched using API from the backend and later rendered. In this case i suppose the server can just listen to the machines localhost??...
