Setting request cookies angular2 http post request

Question

I have a login service that performs an http request (to a php backend server) and returns a cookie. After login this cookie is needs to be used in all further requests done

Answer 1

Try this for the login:

(...)
return this.http.post("http://localhost/request.php", "data="+ jsonRequest,
    { withCredentials: true,
        headers: new Headers({
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    })
    }).map(...)

And the other requests:

(...)
return this.http.post("http://localhost/request.php", "data="+ jsonRequest,
                      {withCredentials: true}).map(...)

Basically, just use withCredentials option set to true.
