How to handle corrupted AWS ALB path due to browser caching? - amazon-web-services

I have an ALB with listener rules that check for path and headers, but after clearing cookie with accessToken after going to /path1, it makes it impossible to go back to that path, and automatically redirect to /home every time. For some reason, going to /path2 which is in the same set of rules as /path1, it would work, but if you clear the cookie once again, it becomes corrupted and loop you back to /home. Both /path1 and /path2 would be inaccessible to the user. I have the following listener rules:
Listener:
Rule 1:
when path = /login
when headers contain: cookie = *accessToken*
Redirect to path /home
Rule 2:
when path = /login
Redirect to path /home
Rule 3:
when path = /home
when headers contain: cookie = *accessToken*
Forward to lambda target group that checks access token and returns content type html if valid, else erase cookie and return to /login.
Rule 4:
when path = /home
Redirect to path /login
Rule 5:
when path = /path1 or /path2 or /path3
when headers contain: cookie = *accessToken*
Forward to lambda target group that checks access token and returns content type html if valid, else erase cookie and return to /login.
Rule 6:
when path = /path1 or /path2 or /path3
Forward to path /login
As far as I am aware, ALB doesn't have caching capabilities, so I thought the problem is with the browser caching that is done via html files or lambda responses so I've added to the response of lambda:
Lambda Target Group Response:
return {
statusCode: 200,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'text/html',
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate'
},
body: html
}
HTML files:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Website teste</title>
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate">
</head>
The problem still occurs and still can't go back to the path. I tried adding to the html files headers and it still didn't work. What would be the other reasons why the path would get corrupted and unable to return to it without getting the redirect loop?

How to make sure cloudfront behavior uses the correct origin without trailing slash

We are hosting several projects with separate Hosted Origins on a single cloudfront. The cloudfront has a default behavior that points to Origin1 .
We can access this by going to website.com
There is a second behavior for the subdirectory /experience that should point to another origin, Origin2 .
The cloudfront uses a Cloudfront function to handle the trailing / as follows
function handler(event) {
var request = event.request;
var uri = request.uri;
// Check whether the URI is missing a file name.
if (uri.endsWith('/')) {
request.uri += 'index.html';
}
// Check whether the URI is missing a file extension.
else if (!uri.includes('.')) {
request.uri += '/index.html';
}
return request;
}
When going to website.com/experience/ the expected result of Origin2 happens. However, if you leave off the trailing slash with website.com/experience the Origin seems to point to Origin1 . The index.html of /experience is called, but the file paths in that folder expect the root to be /experience, however the origin still points to Origin1. Is there any way to set the behavior of /experience to point to the correct origin?
I looked into the Cloudfront functions to do a redirect, but it looks like you cannot change the origin.
When a function changes the uri value, it doesn’t change the cache behavior for the request or the origin that an origin request is sent to.
From Cloudfront Functrions event Structure | Request Object
We also set up a static hosted s3 Bucket to host a project in, and the same results happen with a subdirectory of /experience in that Bucket. The origin path on the cloudfront had a path pattern of /experience* and the origin path was /experience
AWS Buckets are "linear" so there is no heirarchy, but I would expect if the directory name is there, or the cloudfront behavior points to the correct origin that there wouldn't be an issue.

This is the expected behavior. Like you said, changing the uri doesn't change the origin.
You can do a URL redirect to handle the website.com/experience path:
function handler(event) {
var request = event.request;
var uri = request.uri;
// Check whether the URI is missing a file name.
if (uri.endsWith('/')) {
request.uri += 'index.html';
}
// Check whether the URI is missing a file extension.
else if (!uri.includes('.')) {
request.uri += '/index.html';
}
// Check /experience path
else if (uri === '/experience') {
var response = {
statusCode: 302,
statusDescription: 'Found',
headers:
{ "location": { "value": Origin2-PATH } }
}
return response;
}
return request;
}

Cloudfront not redirecting with trailing slash

I am hosting a website with multiple subdomains from S3 buckets through Cloudfront.
When I go to www.domain.com/subdomain/ (note: with trailing slash), the website loads correctly and fetches the minified .js and .css files from www.domain.com/subdomain/****.js.
However if I navigate to www.domain.com/subdomain without the trailing slash, the site's index.html is still served but the assets attempt to be fetched from www.domain.com/****.js.
I have tried to use a lamba#edge function to change the request uri and append the slash however that is not working. Thanks for any help!

This will be caused by the html referencing relative file paths (i.e. src="****.js" vs src="/subdomain/****.js").
If you are looking to fix this, you will need to perform a redirect to the slash path in the users browser. This can be done by using a Lambda#Edge function to perform the redirect in the Origin Response event.
An example redirect function is below
def lambda_handler(event, context):
# Generate HTTP redirect response with 302 status code and Location header.
response = {
'status': '302',
'statusDescription': 'Found',
'headers': {
'location': [{
'key': 'Location',
'value': 'http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-edge.html'
}]
}
}
return response
For this you would need to add your custom logic to check if the URL needs to be redirected by checking for a "/" character as the last character of the request.
Additionally if you can change the path of your css, js and images from being relative to being absolute as pointed out at the top of this answer.

Can boto generate a url that is canonical to S3 bucket? Getting CORS redirect issue

Im using boto's S3 Key.generate_url to get a expired signed token. This works as expected, except when used with cross-origin requests (CORS). Since my bucket is not in the default region it will get a 307 redirect and this is making the OPTIONS request redirect and fail. If I change the hostname of the generated url to my bucket's location ie xxbucket-namexx.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com the CORS request works fine.
Any ideas of how to get this to always generate the canonical hostname for these generated URLs?
Here is how I'm generating the URL.
conn = boto.connect_s3()
bucket = conn.get_bucket('bucket-name')
key = Key(bucket)
key.key = 'image-name'
signed_url = key.generate_url(
60*5, method='PUT', policy='public-read',
force_http=True,
headers={'Content-Type': self.request.get('contentType'),
'Content-Length': self.request.get('contentLength')},
)

unable to access the prestashop webservice via getJSON

I am trying to use the webservice prestashop (1.6) to get my product by using the jquery function getJSON() but on the console's browser, I get the following error :
XMLHttpRequest cannot load
http://www.pourquoilavie.org/api/products/?ws_key=XXXXXkeyXXXXXXXXX&io_format=JSON.
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested
resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.
I tried to add " Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * " to the htaccess but without success.
I wonder if there is another way to set a header (except using php with header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); )

I solved the issue by myself, I just add header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); on the file dispatcher.php in the webservice folder

In prestashop 1.6 you can try to add this in
./prestafolder/webservice/dispatcher.php
for security reason, instead of asterisk you can type domain name
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://example.com');
FYI
If you will still have problems or Unauthorized message, try to change your url from
http://KEYTOKEN#example.com/api/
into
http://example.com/api/?ws_key=KEYTOKEN

If you are working with Angular or Similar Frameworks, modify and add the following code according to your environment on the first line of prestashop_folder/webservice/dispatcher.php file
// Allow from any origin
if(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ORIGIN"]))
{
// You can decide if the origin in $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] is something you want to allow, or as we do here, just allow all
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: {$_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN']}");
}
else
{
//No HTTP_ORIGIN set, so we allow any. You can disallow if needed here
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
}
header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true");
header("Access-Control-Max-Age: 600"); // cache for 10 minutes
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "OPTIONS")
{
if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_METHOD"]))
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT"); //Make sure you remove those you do not want to support
if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS"]))
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: {$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS']}");
//Just exit with 200 OK with the above headers for OPTIONS method
exit(0);
}

for me i tried with react app i had to made some modification in dispatcher.php and add for option preflight 200 return
i added in the dispatcher.php header
//to access from external browser
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header( 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, Access-Control-Allow-Headers,
Origin,Accept, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-
Control-Request-Headers,Output-Format');
header( 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, OPTIONS, HEAD, PUT, DELETE');
header( 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true');
then modified like this after in the code
if ($method === 'OPTIONS') {
die('200');
ob_end_flush();
}else{
if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
....
}

Cross-Domain Cookies

I have two webapps WebApp1 and WebApp2 in two different domains.
I am setting a cookie in WebApp1 in the HttpResponse.
How to read the same cookie from HttpRequest in WebApp2?
I know it sounds weird because cookies are specific to a given domain, and we can't access them from different domains; I've however heard of CROSS-DOMAIN cookies which can be shared across multiple webapps. How to implement this requirement using CROSS-DOMAIN cookies?
Note: I am trying this with J2EE webapps

Yes, it is absolutely possible to get the cookie from domain1.example by domain2.example. I had the same problem for a social plugin of my social network, and after a day of research I found the solution.
First, on the server side you need to have the following headers:
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://origin.domain:port");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, *");
Within the PHP-file you can use $_COOKIE[name]
Second, on the client side:
Within your AJAX request you need to include 2 parameters
crossDomain: true
xhrFields: { withCredentials: true }
Example:
type: "get",
url: link,
crossDomain: true,
dataType: 'json',
xhrFields: {
withCredentials: true
}

As other people say, you cannot share cookies, but you could do something like this:
centralize all cookies in a single domain, let's say cookiemaker.example
when the user makes a request to example.com you redirect him to cookiemaker.example
cookiemaker.example redirects him back to example.com with the information you need
Of course, it's not completely secure, and you have to create some kind of internal protocol between your apps to do that.
Lastly, it would be very annoying for the user if you do something like that in every request, but not if it's just the first.
But I think there is no other way.

As far as I know, cookies are limited by the "same origin" policy. However, with CORS you can receive and use the "Server B" cookies to establish a persistent session from "Server A" on "Server B".
Although, this requires some headers on "Server B":
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://server-a.example.com
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
And you will need to send the flag "withCredentials" on all the "Server A" requests (ex: xhr.withCredentials = true;)
You can read about it here:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/cors/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Access_control_CORS

There's no such thing as cross domain cookies. You could share a cookie between foo.example.com and bar.example.com but never between example.com and example2.com and that's for security reasons.

The smartest solution is to follow facebook's path on this. How does facebook know who you are when you visit any domain? It's actually very simple:
The Like button actually allows Facebook to track all visitors of the external site, no matter if they click it or not. Facebook can do that because they use an iframe to display the button. An iframe is something like an embedded browser window within a page. The difference between using an iframe and a simple image for the button is that the iframe contains a complete web page – from Facebook. There is not much going on on this page, except for the button and the information about how many people have liked the current page.
So when you see a like button on cnn.com, you are actually visiting a Facebook page at the same time. That allows Facebook to read a cookie on your computer, which it has created the last time you’ve logged in to Facebook.
A fundamental security rule in every browser is that only the website that has created a cookie can read it later on. And that is the advantage of the iframe: it allows Facebook to read your Facebook-cookie even when you are visiting a different website. That’s how they recognize you on cnn.com and display your friends there.

Cross-domain cookies are not allowed (i.e. site A cannot set a cookie on site B).
But once a cookie is set by site A, you can send that cookie even in requests from site B to site A (i.e. cross-domain requests):
XMLHttpRequest from a different domain cannot set cookie values for their own domain unless withCredentials is set to true before making the request. The third-party cookies obtained by setting withCredentials to true will still honor same-origin policy and hence can not be accessed by the requesting script through document.cookie or from response headers.
Make sure to do these things:
When setting the cookie in a response
The Set-Cookie response header includes SameSite=None if the requests are cross-site (note a request from www.example.dev to static.example.dev is actually a same-site request, and can use SameSite=Strict)
The Set-Cookie response header should include the Secure attribute if served over HTTPS; as seen here and here
When sending/receiving the cookie:
The request is made with withCredentials: true, as mentioned in other answers here and here, including the original request whose response sets the cookie set in the first place
For the fetch API, this attribute is credentials: 'include', vs withCredentials: true
For jQuery's ajax method, note you may need to supply argument crossDomain: true
The server response includes cross-origin headers like Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, and Access-Control-Allow-Methods
As #nabrown points out: "Note that the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" cannot be the wildcard (*) value if you use the withCredentials: true" (see #nabrown's comment which explains one workaround for this.
In general:
Your browser hasn't disabled 3rd-party cookies. (* see below)
Things that you don't need (just use the above):
domain attribute in the Set-Cookie; you can choose a root domain (i.e. a.example.com can set a cookie with a domain value of example.com, but it's not necessary; the cookie will still be sent to a.example.com, even if sent from b.other-site.example
For the cookie to be visible in Chrome Dev Tools, "Application" tab; if the value of cookie HttpOnly attribute is true, Chrome won't show you the cookie value in the Application tab (it should show the cookie value when set in the initial request, and sent in subsequent responses where withCredentials: true)
Notice the difference between "path" and "site" for Cookie purposes. "path" is not security-related; "site" is security-related:
path
Servers can set a Path attribute in the Set-Cookie, but it doesn't seem security related:
Note that path was intended for performance, not security. Web pages having the same origin still can access cookie via document.cookie even though the paths are mismatched.
site
The SameSite attribute, according to example.dev article, can restrict or allow cross-site cookies; but what is a "site"?
It's helpful to understand exactly what 'site' means here. The site is the combination of the domain suffix and the part of the domain just before it. For example, the www.example.dev domain is part of the example.dev site...
This means a request to static.example.dev from www.example.dev, is a sameSite request (the only difference in the URLs is in the subdomains).
The public suffix list defines this, so
it's not just top-level domains like .com but also includes services
like github.io
This means a request to your-project.github.io from my-project.github.io, is a a cross-site request (these URLs are at different domains, because github.io is the domain suffix; the domains your-project vs my-project are different; hence different sites)
This means what's to the left of the public suffix; is the subdomain (but the subdomain is a part of the host; see the BONUS reply in this answer)
www is the subdomain in www.example.dev; same site as static.example.dev
your-project is the domain in your-project.github.io; separate site as my-project.github.io
In this URL https://www.example.com:8888/examples/index.html, remember these parts:
the "protocol": https://
the "scheme": https
the "port": 8888
the "domain name" aka location.hostname: www.example.com
the "domain suffix" aka "top-level domain" (TLD): com
the "domain": example
the "subdomain": www (the subdomain could be single-level (like www) or multi-level (like foo.bar in foo.bar.example.com)
the "site" (as in "cross-site" if another URL had a different "site" value): example.com
"site" = "domain" + "domain suffix" = example.com
the "path": /examples/index.html

(Be careful; I was testing my feature in Chrome Incognito tab; according to my chrome://settings/cookies; my settings were "Block third party cookies in Incognito", so I can't test Cross-site cookies in Incognito.)

You cannot share cookies across domains. You can however allow all subdomains to have access. To allow all subdomains of example.com to have access, set the domain to .example.com.
It's not possible giving other.example access to example.com's cookies though.

Do what Google is doing. Create a PHP file that sets the cookie on all 3 domains. Then on the domain where the theme is going to set, create a HTML file that would load the PHP file that sets cookie on the other 2 domains. Example:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>Please wait.....</p>
<img src="http://domain2.example/setcookie.php?theme=whateveryourthemehere" />
<img src="http://domain3.example/setcookie.php?theme=whateveryourthemehere" />
</body>
</html>
Then add an onload callback on body tag. The document will only load when the images completely load that is when cookies are set on the other 2 domains. Onload Callback:
<head>
<script>
function loadComplete(){
window.location="http://domain1.example";//URL of domain1
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadComplete()">
setcookie.php
We set the cookies on the other domains using a PHP file like this:
<?php
if(isset($_GET['theme'])){
setcookie("theme", $_GET['theme'], time()+3600);
}
?>
Now cookies are set on the three domains.

You can attempt to push the cookie val to another domain using an image tag.
Your mileage may vary when trying to do this because some browsers require you to have a proper P3P Policy on the WebApp2 domain or the browser will reject the cookie.
If you look at plus.google.com p3p policy you will see that their policy is:
CP="This is not a P3P policy! See http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151657 for more info."
that is the policy they use for their +1 buttons to these cross domain requests.
Another warning is that if you are on https make sure that the image tag is pointing to an https address also otherwise the cookies will not set.

There's a decent overview of how Facebook does it here on nfriedly.com
There's also Browser Fingerprinting, which is not the same as a cookie, but serves a like purpose in that it helps you identify a user with a fair degree of certainty. There's a post here on Stack Overflow that references upon one method of fingerprinting

I've created an NPM module, which allows you to share locally-stored data across domains:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cookie-toss
By using an iframe hosted on Domain A, you can store all of your user data on Domain A, and reference that data by posting requests to the Domain A iframe.
Thus, Domains B, C, etc. can inject the iframe and post requests to it to store and access the desired data. Domain A becomes the hub for all shared data.
With a domain whitelist inside of Domain A, you can ensure only your dependent sites can access the data on Domain A.
The trick is to have the code inside of the iframe on Domain A which is able to recognize which data is being requested. The README in the above NPM module goes more in depth into the procedure.
Hope this helps!

Since it is difficult to do 3rd party cookies and also some browsers won't allow that.
You can try storing them in HTML5 local storage and then sending them with every request from your front end app.

One can use invisible iframes to get the cookies. Let's say there are two domains, a.example and b.example. For the index.html of domain a.example one can add (notice height=0 width=0):
<iframe height="0" id="iframe" src="http://b.example" width="0"></iframe>
That way your website will get b.example cookies assuming that http://b.example sets the cookies.
The next thing would be manipulating the site inside the iframe through JavaScript. The operations inside iframe may become a challenge if one doesn't own the second domain. But in case of having access to both domains referring the right web page at the src of iframe should give the cookies one would like to get.

Along with #Ludovic(approved answer) answers we need to check one more option when getting set-cookies header,
set-cookie: SESSIONID=60B2E91C53B976B444144063; Path=/dev/api/abc; HttpOnly
Check for Path attribute value also. This should be the same as your API starting context path like below
https://www.example.com/dev/api/abc/v1/users/123
or use below value when not sure about context path
Path=/;

Three main kinds of browser-based storage:
session storage
local storage
cookie storage
Secure cookies - are used by encrypted websites to offer protection from any possible threats from a hacker.
access cookie - document.cookie. This means that this cookie is exposed and can be exploited through cross-site scripting. The saved cookie values can be seen through the browser console.
As a precaution, you should always try to make your cookies inaccessible on the client-side using JavaScript.
HTTPonly - ensures that a cookie is not accessible using the JavaScript code. This is the most crucial form of protection against cross-scripting attacks.
A secure attribute - ensures that the browser will reject cookies unless the connection happens over HTTPS.
sameSite attribute improves cookie security and avoids privacy leaks.
sameSite=Lax - It is set to Lax (sameSite = Lax) meaning a cookie is only set when the domain in the URL of the browser matches the domain of the cookie, thus eliminating third party’s domains. This will restrict cross-site sharing even between different domains that the same publisher owns. we need to include SameSite=None to avoid the new default of Lax:
Note: There is a draft spec that requires that the Secure attribute be set to true when the SameSite attribute has been set to 'none'. Some web browsers or other clients may be adopting this specification.
Using includes as { withCredentials: true } must include all the cookies with the request from the front end.
const data = { email: 'youremailaddress#gmail.com' , password: '1234' };
const response = await axios.post('www.yourapi.com/login', data , { withCredentials: true });
Cookie should only be accepted over a secure HTTPS connection. In order to get this to work, we must move the web application to HTTPS.
In express.js
res.cookie('token', token, {
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24, // would expire after (for 15 minutes 1000 * 60 * 15 ) 15 minutes
