httpOnly cookies are *prevented* from being accessed by client-side (e.g.
in the browser) JavaScript. This attribute, however, has no effect when
making a server-side HTTP request.
There are, effectively, a couple of ways to handle this (assuming, of
course, you're making an HTTP request using server-side node)...
1. You can grab the cookie from the response headers themselves and return
it with your next request, something along the lines of:
var cookie = get(response.headers, "Set-Cookie")if (cookie) {
cookie = (cookie + "").split(";").shift()
set(opts.headers, "Cookie", cookie)}
The second approach would be to use Request
(https://github.com/request/request) which essentially does the same thing
for cookies as the above code, though more elegantly and supports multiple
cookies in the request, plus a lot of other things you can't get out of the
box with Node and HTTP requests.
