Angular 2 - Get cookie from response

Question

I need help, I\'m trying to get the cookie from the response, and I can\'t find a way, I\'m pretty new with tsc and ng2.

This is the ng2 http post

Answer 1

Well, after some research, I've found two issues from my side.

First, the cookie was set OK, but I was looking for it in the wrong place. All this time I was looking it under my localhost:3000 domain, and the cookie was stored correctly under http://demo... domain, that, that is the proper behavior. I could see it in chrome://settings/ ==> Show advanced settings ==> All cookies and site data... ==> and filtering by the remote host like following:

---

Second, I forgot to use withCredentials: true in the rest of request headers also, in order to include and accept the cookie automatically.

authenticate(username: string, password: string) {
    var body = `{"username":"${username}","password":"${password}"}`;
    var headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers, withCredentials: true });

    return this._http
               .post('http://demo...', body, options)
               .subscribe(
                   (response: Response) => {
                   this.doSomething(response);
               }, (err) => {
                   console.log('Error: ' + err);
               });
}

Thanks @All for your responses and time!
