http-proxy-middleware, how to copy all/cookie headers

Question

I am using lite server by John Papa with HTTP proxy middleware by chimurai as a dev server. the problem is with my session cookie, I cannot persist the session cookie that comes

Answer 1

In my case setting "cookieDomainRewrite": "localhost", works. This allows the browser to setup correctly the cookies since the domain would match

Below complete config for setupProxy.js in React:

const {createProxyMiddleware} = require('http-proxy-middleware');

module.exports = function (app) {
    app.use(
        '/api',
        createProxyMiddleware({
            target: 'http://localhost:8000',
            changeOrigin: true,
            cookieDomainRewrite: "localhost",
        })
    );
};
