The header contains invalid characters
See original GitHub issueEdit: Found the problem! https://github.com/koajs/generic-session/issues/96#issuecomment-234743407
When running:
this.session.count = 12
This exception gets thrown:
koa-generic-session set error: The header content contains invalid characters
at ServerResponse.OutgoingMessage.setHeader (_http_outgoing.js:351:13)
at Cookies.set (..project\node_modules\cookies\lib\cookies.js:100:13)
at Object.options.sessionIdStore.set (..project\node_modules\koa-generic-session\lib\session.js:93:20)
at Object.saveNow (..project\node_modules\koa-generic-session\lib\session.js:283:26)
at next (native)
at onFulfilled (..project\node_modules\co\index.js:65:19)
at process._tickCallback (node.js:369:9)
These are the modules that I used:
koa v1.2.0
koa-generic-session v1.11.1
koa-router v5.4.0
Can be reproduced with the following application:
'use strict'
const koa = require('koa')
const router = require('koa-router')()
const session = require('koa-generic-session')
const app = koa()
app.keys = ['key']
app.use(session())
router.get('/', function* () {
this.session.count = 12
this.body = 'test'
});
app.use(router.routes())
app.listen(3000)
console.log('listening on port 3000')

Looks like that it was a issue with the newer versions of node. It works fine with version 4.2.6 of node.
It might be worth checking out this change https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/cf2b714b02 to add support for newer versions of node.
Edit: As a temporary solution you can run the node application with
--security-revert=CVE-2016-2216
Updating koa to version 1.2.1 and koa-generic-session to version 1.11.3 fixed it.
