read cookies setted after socket.io connection

Maybe is a stupid question but if i set or update a cookie after client connection i can’t get the new values using socket.request.headers.cookie server side without page refresh.

Client side socket = io(); document.cookie="foo=bar"; socket.emit('this', { is: 'test'});

Server side io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) { socket.on('this', function(reqData){ console.log(socket.handshake.headers); // there is no cookies here! }); }

If i update an access token cookie using ajax i need to read the updated cookie server side without page refresh but it seems that sochet.io set the cookies only during handshake.

@elbasan I guess NO web socket make connection through P2P so yes there are some issue for session & cookie.

For future readers: the handshake object indeed contains the headers of the first HTTP requests of the Socket.IO session.

Documentation: https://socket.io/docs/v3/server-socket-instance/#Socket-handshake

You can force the reconnection on the client-side:

if (socket.io.engine) { socket.io.engine.close(); }
