Add the possibility to access HttpClient object inside RESTe
cubico opened this issue · comments
I need send cookies to mantain session opened. In first call the server send me a cookie and I must sending to the server the same "Cookie" header for prevent generate many sessions. I have added a simple method after create the HTTPClient object.
(...)
var http = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
// simple method to access http
reste.getHTTPClient = function(){
return http;
}
(...)
After has created the session of backend and the response headers are sended to the client you access to the cookie with this call: api.getHTTPClient().getResponseHeader('set-cookie')
PR for this?
Cookie header? If you need to set request headers that is supported already. Reste also supports cookie based sessions where the server saves a cookies and the uses that to auth the session transparent to reste. I user cookie auth on a project and it worked fine.
Sounds like what you're as doing for is setCookie and getCookie.
Maybe. :)
In the validation session is created and the backend server (SailsJS) returns the cookie (I save the sessions in Redis). In this response I also generate a token (JWT) that happened on subsequent calls, but if I do not add the same cookie, another session is created and so I need to take this value after the validation.
I use "setRequestHeaders" to send the cookie and the token.
By saving the token and the cookie in Ti.App.Properties, when I close the app and reopen it, Reste uses the same session already validated by the user and does not generate more sessions.
I do not know if this is the best way to do this ..
Thanks for your quick answer!
