Though if you’re talking about the authentication cookie specifically then it’s request.auth that you probably want.

Get and Set a Single Cookie with Node.js HTTP Server
I want to be able to set a single cookie, and read that single cookie with each request made to the nodejs server instance. Can it be done in a few lines of code, without the need to pull in a third
Thanks! Is it also okay to do it via
response.cookies.get('...')?
It turns out that the thing I messed up was the setting of the cookie, I thought that (on another route), calling response.cookies.set('...', '...') would be the way to do it, but it seems as though I have to set it as a header? cuz now it works - first route response.setHeader, second route response.cookies.getyou were first talking about incoming requests and now you're talking about outgoing responses so which is it
sorry if it was unclear, the first route sets the cookie, which the second route should then read.
I did not find an attribute such as
response.cookies, on the request object, so I didn't know how to get the cookies.
As it turns out the problem was with the first route already tho, because it did not set the cookie correctly.
I fixed that by using setHeader instead of cookies.set.
And now it is also possible to get the cookies in the second route, via response.cookies.get().so problem solved?
yes, thanks for your help :)
alright
vanitas is great btw 😉
haha thanks, however i gotta disappoint you, since the backstory for the name is quite different 
As in not kingdom hearts vanitas?
nope :/
some years ago when I was in school we were supposed to paint vanitas motives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanitas)
and since it is all about the 'certainty of death' and I was really bad at video games, I chose it as my gamer tag
guess you get that question more often
