How to specify headers or cookies to send with connection requests from Node.js

I’m connecting to a primus server from another node.js process and I need to attach a session cookie to the initial http request. When connecting from a browser cookies are automatically attached. I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to do this from a non-browser/Node.js client. The transformer I’m using is websockets

You can use the transport option. See https://github.com/primus/primus#connecting-from-the-browser. For example in your case:

'use strict';

const Primus = require('primus');
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer();
const primus = new Primus(server);

primus.authorize((req, done) => {
  console.log(req.headers.cookie);
  done();
});

primus.on('connection', spark => console.log(spark.id + ' connected'));
primus.on('disconnection', spark => console.log(spark.id + ' disconnected'));

server.listen(3000, () => {
  new primus.Socket('http://localhost:3000', {
    transport: {
      headers: { 'Cookie': 'foo=bar' }
    }
  });
});

@lpinca fortunately this is node, and I can just do it manually. For anyone who comes across this. You can add headers to the initial GET request here, and you can add headers for the websocket connection here. Just add a headers object to the options passed into the WebsocketDriver . Thanks for the prompt response pushing me in the right direction.
