I am trying to retrieve the user token from the cookies, but they are HTTP-only and can not be accessed. Is there a way to extract the user token from the cookie and include it in the headers of external API requests? My back-end is written in Go and uses an authentication middleware to protect the routes. The token is required in the headers for authentication.
Summary
Developers are struggling to retrieve the user access token from HTTP-only cookies for including it in headers of API requests. Their back-end, written in Go, uses authentication middleware.
Solution: One way to pass the token could be to send it as a query parameter in the URL instead of as a header. Another option could be to have the back-end send the token to the front-end via an endpoint specifically for retrieving the token.
