How can i get set-cookie header ?

[lu911]

Hello.

"Set-Cookie" header exist in HTTP response header. But axios response didn't have "set-cookie" header.

Response header have only "content-type".

How can i get "set-cookie" header ?

[zsajjad]

u found the solution?

[machineghost]

There is in fact a response.headers['set-cookie'] (I'm guessing that this was the solution found).

Can't find it too. Does anyone have any hint on this?

[ViswanathLekshmanan]

Same problem unable to get set cookies from the header also try with withcredential : true. Any help on this

[ankitsinghaniyaz]

I'm also facing this. The cookie is there on the network tab, but nothing inside the response from axios.

[sunnynegi]

ankitsinghaniyaz Use withCredentials: true, in axiios they will help.
method: 'GET', url: BACKEND_URL+'/notification/new/?pageNum='+pageNum+'&pageSize='+resultSize, withCredentials: true, headers : {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
This one work for me.

So I had some gaps in my knowledge regarding how cookies work. Putting it here so that others can benefit from this.

1. HTTP ONLY (Secure) cookies cannot be accessed in JavaScript. If you try to read some token, etc from a secure cookie it's not going to work.
2. Cross-domain cookies cannot be accessed. In case you are building a single page application and your server is on a different domain. You cannot access the cookies on your SPA. The withCredentials flag will just make sure that the network calls made include the cookies and accept any incoming cookies.

I hope this will help someone. :)

@ankitsinghaniyaz That answer is only true if considering the usage of axios inside a browser.
There are many applications where axios is used in a server context to do SSR.

Did anyone here find a solution ? None of the above solutions are solving it when axios is running on the server.
