I am attempting a performance test using JMeter.
The first controller performs a POST request to create a token en assign it to a variable.
The folloowing requests use this cookie to authenticate.
What I noticed is that after the first request with the cookies, the response contain a Set-Cookie header for each of the cookies.
Following requests use the old cookies (from the cookie manager) and the new cookies for the response.
I would like to overwrite the original cookie with the value of the new cookie.
I moved around the Cookie manager and edited the settings, but to no avail.

Ive made some configurations to (finally) have my cookies set on HTTP only.
"Seem" to work.
Ive tried them with postman and I have the following:
When I hit the login page:
On the cookies section, my cookie with name JSESSIONID appears to be HTTP only (it has the check)
When I enter to the logged area , the same result...
The headers dont give me more details.
Then,
I check it with google chrome. I open the developers toolbar.
I load the login page.
At the headers on the response headers I get
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=434434..... HttpOnly
So, its fine (I guess).
Then I reload the page (or sign in).
Then the problem:
No response headers received.
The Request Headers brings my cookie (with the same ID at then the previous one) without the httponly, host info or any other cookie value I set before.
At the cookies tab I get Request Cookies only and no Response cookie.
And the request cookie is non http-only
At my resources tab, the Cookie is there, as HTTP only and with the previous values I set.
My question now is... Is it a really http-only cookie? Or my configuration is not properly set?
Should I always get the response cookie or the request cookie should be always http-only (In case I am trying to set it as http-only) or is this behavior normal (or at least accepted) ?
When I try to print my cookie with Javascript at both scenarios I get a null as response (what makes me think then it is correct).
Ideas?
Client doesn't send cookie attributes other than name and value back to server.
See also RFC6265 section 4.2.2 (emphasis mine).
4.2.2. Semantics
Each cookie-pair represents a cookie stored by the user agent. The
cookie-pair contains the cookie-name and cookie-value the user agent
received in the Set-Cookie header.
Notice that the cookie attributes are not returned. In particular,
the server cannot determine from the Cookie header alone when a
cookie will expire, for which hosts the cookie is valid, for which
paths the cookie is valid, or whether the cookie was set with the
Secure or HttpOnly attributes.
Everything's behaving as specified.
I want to pass browser automatically store cookies and manually added cookies in JMeter request.
enter image description here
Default cookie manager to use to get default cookies to browser create
into pet-type-3. HTTP Cookie Manager uses to add manually cookies to that request.
but that request also passes only default requests in browser creation.
How to pass these two types of cookies in this request.
Given you're providing valid cookies which match domain and path - they will be added along with the cookies coming in Set-Cookie response header
Demo:
as you can see by cookie foo with the value of bar has beed added to the "normal" cookies used by google
So I believe you just need to move your HTTP Cookie Manager to be direct child of the Thread Group as currently it's being applied to /pet-type-3 sampler only and in order to catch the cookies you call "browser" ones it need to be applied to all HTTP Request samplers.

I am new to JMeter and creating JMeter scripts on .Net Framework version 4.5.
I am facing a challenge or issue that how to extract/capture values like .ASPXAuth, AuthToken, Sesson ID generating on login into web application as Cookie Data but unable to use the same in the subsequent requests as there is no parameter available in Requests.
Actually, I need to extract the cookie data value from response header and to use it further in the subsequent requests. Please share the steps to do the same.
If you need to add cookies support to your JMeter script just add a HTTP Cookie Manager to your test plan.
The HTTP Cookie Manager automatically extracts the cookies from the Set-Cookie response header, checks their validity and adds them to the next request if domain and path of the HTTP Request samplers match the Cookie's domain and path.
So in the majority of cases it's sufficient to just add the HTTP Cookie Manager in order to get browser-like behaviour when it comes to cookies handling.
If you need to use the values of the cookies somewhere else, i.e. in a request parameter you can add the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
upon JMeter restart the incoming cookies values will be stored as JMeter Variables so you will be able to access the value of .ASPXAuth cookie as ${COOKIE_.ASPXAuth}, the value of AuthToken cookie as ${COOKIE_AuthToken}, etc.

In my application I have filter that sets cookie:
HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Append("myCookie", "value")
When I print cookie value in my view:
HttpContext.Request.Cookies["myCookie"];
it is not there. If I refresh page cookie is set. This happens because using Response.Cookies.Append does not update Request.Cookies collection. Is there way to view current cookies with changes made during request?
In my web application I have IAsyncActionFilter, that updates cookie, however corrected value is visible only after page is refreshed, and I would like to finish current request with new value. I know that it will be set by browser when response finishes, but I already know that I have new value for that cookie, and I would like to propagate this value to views reading cookies.
No. This is how cookies work. They are sourced from the client. In other words, the cookie is set by the client after it receives the response from the server with the Set-Cookie header. It's then only after the client makes another request, sending the cookie back, that it exists server-side. It's not clear what you're trying to achieve ultimately here, but you need to force a new request after setting a cookie, to access that cookie, even if that's simply returning a redirect to the same page.
I'm setting a cookie in a response from my web service. The set-cookie header is coming through, and I can see the cookie in the network tab in Chrome, but the cookie isn't being stored. It doesn't show up in the resources->cookies tab, and the cookie isn't sent with subsequent requests. Nothing shows up in the JS console. I've also tried leaving the domain field off the cookie, but it still isn't stored.
Is there a way to debug the browser to understand why the cookie was rejected from being stored?
Turns out it had to do with the way I was making the request. I expected fetch() to work the same way as XHR requests. Setting credentials: 'include' on my fetch call resolved the problem. See 5.6.14 of the fetch spec
