I have site on nuxt.js (example.com) and backend on PHP (example.com/api/).
Some page get data from /api/some:
asyncData() {
return axios.get("http://example.com/api/some").then((response) => {
return response.data;
});
},
In PHP-handler of "/api/some" I write to the log recieved cookies.
If I go to some-page by link (browser ajax-request) cookies exist.
If I refresh page (server-side rendering) then cookies is empty.
Cookie reach to nuxt (context.req.headers.cookie is not empty) but don't transfer to backend.
How I can fix it?
Sorry, it work for axios.
const headers = {};
if (context.req) {
headers.Cookie = context.req.headers.coookie;
}
return axios({
url: url,
method: "get",
headers: headers,
}).then(/* ... */);

I'm building an api with api platform and a front with react (using the react template of apiplatform). I configured authentification and a return to client with httponly cookie which contains the jwt. But when my front does a request, it does not send this cookie... And I absolutly don't know why, I thought it was automaticaly done by browser till it's on same domain.
Here is an example of the network history from my client :
my app is running on https://localhost:3000/
Do you see something wrong in theses request ? Or does anyone has an idea of what it could come from ?
My app and api are using https and have a valid certificate...
If you need any additional info, feel free to ask, and thanks all !!!
I assume you work with either xhr or fetch.
Cookies ignore ports, but cross origin policy does not.
You work with two urls (http://localhost:8443 and http://localhost:3000). So your app is making cross origin request because ports differ.
xhr requires to set its withCredentials property to true in order to send cookies with cross-origin request.
fetch requires its credentials parameter to be set to include.
Server side, set the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials to true.
Also note that your cookie is samesite=strict. In production, if you use two domains for your app and your api, it will never be sent.
The real question here is why using a cookie instead of Authorization header ?
Ok, I didn't know... I've found nothing on it when I was trying to solve my prob.
I'm using cookie httponly because :
I want to try it :D
Lot of security articles says that it's more secure because client api can't access theses cookies, browser manages it. It seems to counter xss and stealth of cookies, but if my cookie is stored with localforage, I think I do not have this problem, but with localStorage I do, no ?
It's cool no ! I've done too many project with classic bearer auth, I can improve it now
A big thanks for your nice answer rugolinifr !
Okay, I'm still having my issue finally... My browser is not sending the cookie...
My auth request returning bearer cookie (valid, tested with postman)
My cookie received from auth request
My GET request without that auth cookie
I'm missing something but I don't find it...
I've set credentials, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, samesite is 'none' for sending it everywhere. Is there something else to do ? Or maybe I'm doing a stupid little thing that is wrong ?
I can't answer in comment because there's code...
So, It's managed by the react admin base of api-platform (https://api-platform.com/docs/admin/), but my config is like this :
const fetchHeaders = {
credentials: 'include',
};
const fetchHydra = (url, options = {}) =>
baseFetchHydra(url, {
...options,
headers: new Headers(fetchHeaders),
});
const apiDocumentationParser = (entrypoint) =>
parseHydraDocumentation(entrypoint, { headers: new Headers(fetchHeaders) }).then(
({ api }) => ({ api }),
(result) => {
...
},
);
const dataProvider = baseHydraDataProvider(entrypoint, fetchHydra, apiDocumentationParser, true);
So, all get, post etc request for datas are based on this conf
But my first call for authentication is done like that :
login: ({ username, password }) => {
const request = new Request(`${entrypoint}/authentication_token`, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ username, password }),
headers: new Headers({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }),
});
return fetch(request).then((response) => {
if (response.status < 200 || response.status >= 300) {
localStorage.removeItem('isAuthenticated');
throw new Error(response.statusText);
}
localStorage.setItem('isAuthenticated', 'true');
});
},
ok, I've found solution :
add credentials to the auth request, if header is not added, cookie won't be stored by browser.
And second point :
const fetchHydra = (url, options = {}) =>
baseFetchHydra(url, {
...options,
credentials: 'include',
});
credentials: 'include' is not in headers option... Nice !
Faced the same problem.Tried out many solutions but didn't work.At last found out it was the cors configuration of node backend that was causing the problem. Configured cors like the following way to solve the problem.
const corsConfig = {
origin: true,
credentials: true,
};
app.use(cors(corsConfig));
app.options('*', cors(corsConfig));
I have a server-side rendered Next.js/express app that communicates with a Django API (cross-origin). I login a user like so:
const response = await fetch('localhost:8000/sign-in', {
method: 'POST',
credentials: 'include',
body: JSON.stringify({ email, password }),
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});
const result = await response.json();
if (response.status === 200) {
Router.push('/account');
}
Django successfully logs in the user and returns set-cookie headers for the csrftoken and sessionid cookies, however, when I navigate to a different page (like in the above code when I Router.push), the cookies don't persist.
I assume this has something to do with server-side vs. client-side, but when cookies are set in the browser I expect them to persist regardless.
How can I get these cookies, once set, to persist across all pages on the client side?
It turns out that set-cookie is the old way of doing things. It's controlled by the browser, so it's obfuscated.
I ended up sending the csrftoken and sessionid back to the client in the JSON body, and saving them to localStorage using localStorage.setItem('sessionid', 'theSessionId') and localStorage.setItem('csrftoken', 'theCsrftoken').
Then when I need to make an authenticated request, I include them in the fetch headers:
const response = await fetch(`${API_HOST}/logout`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-CSRFToken': localStorage.getItem('csrftoken'),
sessionid: localStorage.getItem('sessionid'),
},
});
I am running an Angular 6 application. Im sending a POST request to an API, and they return me a 200 OK and they also set a cookie. When I make the request in Postman, i can see the cookie set in the response headers however my Angular app does not set the cookie?
login(loginDetails: any): Observable<any> {
const headers = new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8');
return this.http
.post(this.getRootUrl() + '/Login', JSON.stringify(loginDetails), {headers: headers, withCredentials: true, observe: 'response'})
.map((response: any) => {
// console.log(response);
return true;
})
}
Any help much appreciated.
If you want to set cookie after call API of login.
login(data).subscribe((response: any) => {
if (response.code == 200) {
this.commonService.setCookie('userAuthData', response.data);
// Redirect to dashboard page
}
else {
// Redirect to login page
}
});
In common service :
import { CookieService } from "ngx-cookie-service";
constructor(private cookieService: CookieService)...
setCookie(key, value) {
this.cookieService.set(key, value, 1, '/');
}
My setup is running on Docker with a frontend (React) as well as a backend (Django) container.
I'm using the login-form component of the drf-react-app below in another project and am clueless as to how the api fetch request in the loginUser action creator (src/actions/user.js) knows which URL it is supposed to use..?
user.js:22 POST http://localhost:3000/api/obtain-auth-token/ 404 (Not Found)
I want it to send the request to the server at port 8000. I took the code from this drf-react boilerplate: https://github.com/moritz91/drf-react-login
export function loginUser(username, password) {
return (dispatch, getState) => {
const payload = {username, password};
dispatch({type: LOGIN_USER_REQUEST, payload});
return fetch(`/api/obtain-auth-token/`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(payload)
})
.then(handleResponse(dispatch, LOGIN_USER_RESPONSE))
.then((json) => {
saveUser(json);
return json;
})
.catch(handleError(dispatch, LOGIN_USER_RESPONSE))
}
}
What am I missing?
In your package.json you have a proxy property set to "http://backend:8000". The proxy is used to redirect requests to a given url when you make a request against your local server http://localhost:3000. So if that's not working then you might be missing a step that enables the proxy.
I am trying out the new Fetch API but is having trouble with Cookies. Specifically, after a successful login, there is a Cookie header in future requests, but Fetch seems to ignore that headers, and all my requests made with Fetch is unauthorized.
Is it because Fetch is still not ready or Fetch does not work with Cookies?
I build my app with Webpack. I also use Fetch in React Native, which does not have the same issue.
Fetch does not use cookie by default. To enable cookie, do this:
fetch(url, {
credentials: "same-origin"
}).then(...).catch(...);
In addition to #Khanetor's answer, for those who are working with cross-origin requests: credentials: 'include'
Sample JSON fetch request:
fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
credentials: 'include'
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((json) => {
console.log('Gotcha');
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});

Have just solved. Just two f. days of brutforce
For me the secret was in following:
I called POST /api/auth and see that cookies were successfully received.
Then calling GET /api/users/ with credentials: 'include' and got 401 unauth, because of no cookies were sent with the request.
The KEY is to set credentials: 'include' for the first /api/auth call too.
If you are reading this in 2019, credentials: "same-origin" is the default value.
fetch(url).then
Programmatically overwriting Cookie header in browser side won't work.
In fetch documentation, Note that some names are forbidden. is mentioned. And Cookie happens to be one of the forbidden header names, which cannot be modified programmatically. Take the following code for example:
Executed in the Chrome DevTools console of page https://httpbin.org/, Cookie: 'xxx=yyy' will be ignored, and the browser will always send the value of document.cookie as the cookie if there is one.
If executed on a different origin, no cookie is sent.
fetch('https://httpbin.org/cookies', {
headers: {
Cookie: 'xxx=yyy'
}
}).then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)));
P.S. You can create a sample cookie foo=bar by opening https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/foo/bar in the chrome browser.
See Forbidden header name for details.
Just adding to the correct answers here for .net webapi2 users.
If you are using cors because your client site is served from a different address as your webapi then you need to also include SupportsCredentials=true on the server side configuration.
// Access-Control-Allow-Origin
// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/security/enabling-cross-origin-requests-in-web-api
var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute(Settings.CORSSites,"*", "*");
cors.SupportsCredentials = true;
config.EnableCors(cors);
This works for me:
import Cookies from 'universal-cookie';
const cookies = new Cookies();
function headers(set_cookie=false) {
let headers = {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-CSRF-Token': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
};
if (set_cookie) {
headers['Authorization'] = "Bearer " + cookies.get('remember_user_token');
}
return headers;
}
Then build your call:
export function fetchTests(user_id) {
return function (dispatch) {
let data = {
method: 'POST',
credentials: 'same-origin',
mode: 'same-origin',
body: JSON.stringify({
user_id: user_id
}),
headers: headers(true)
};
return fetch('/api/v1/tests/listing/', data)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => dispatch(receiveTests(json)));
};
}
My issue was my cookie was set on a specific URL path (e.g., /auth), but I was fetching to a different path. I needed to set my cookie's path to /.
If it still doesn't work for you after fixing the credentials.
I also was using the :
credentials: "same-origin"
and it used to work, then it didn't anymore suddenly, after digging much I realized that I had change my website url to http://192.168.1.100 to test it in LAN, and that was the url which was being used to send the request, even though I was on http://localhost:3000.
So in conclusion, be sure that the domain of the page matches the domain of the fetch url.
