Utilizing Express-session, Connect-mongo, and PassportJS on a Node server, I have implemented the following validation function:
expressApp.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('login', function(err, user, info) {
if(err) {
return console.log(err);
}
if(!user){
res.set('WWW-Authenticate', 'x' + info);
return res.send(401);
}
req.login(user, function(err){
if(err) {
return console.log(err);
}
//I NEED TO RETRIEVE THE OUTGOING COOKIE HERE
//var cookie = res.get('SET-COOKIE');
res.redirect('/homepage');
});
}
)(req, res, next)
}
);
In the commented section, you can see that I am attempting to access cookie information before sending a response to the client. However, I have not been able to find this data within the 'res' and 'user' objects.
Specifically, I am interested in retrieving the same string found in the 'SET-COOKIE' header of an HTTP response.
