Refreshing sessions from AJAX calls about cookie HOT 8 CLOSED

@technowar document.cookie is set when the initial page is loaded. Ajax requests from scripts do not set document.cookie. But the browser will store the cookie accordingly and use it for subsequent requests.

You don't need to change the implementation, you just need to store the right data set in the session and lookup the rest in the server storage. However, I don't understand why the browser failed to update the cookies. It should not matter how the request was made.

Yes you are right, I can store the cache outside of the implementation and use it.
Also reading more about AJAX cookies it seems they are sent and received back withing the calls.
But for sure it was not working for me setting any new key in the session or updating it.

And one more question I have is if I change the session data, it means the session cookie will be changed, right? As it represents an encoded version of the session data?

@danidacila are you taking additional steps to retrieve the cookie from your Ajax response? If you're expecting them to show up in document.cookie, that won't happen.

To answer your latest question, every call to request.auth.session.set will result in a call to reply.state which will update the cookie.

@jaw187, may I ask why cookies set by hapi-auth-cookie won't appear in document.cookie? How can I handle my cookie if this is the case?

The cookie is encrypted so it won't help you much getting it in the browser.

Thanks all. I thought I got it all wrong.
