Public bug reported:
It seems the new way of working with cookies in javascript is to use the
horizon.cookies object which uses the angular ngCookies module. I have
run into a problem trying to get the csrftoken cookie from this object
since it seems that ngCookies expects all cookies to be compatible with
JSON.parse. This cookie is just a string value so when ngCookies tries
to parse it as JSON I get an error:
>> horizon.cookies.get('csrftoken')
<< SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON
data
This specific error message is from Firefox but I get a similar one from
Chrome.
I only found one other place in horizon where horizon.cookies.get is
used and that is for the network topology 'ntp_draw_mode' cookie. In
this case it works because the cookie seems to be first set using
horizon.cookies.put which ends up storing the cookie with encoded
quotes:
%22small%22
