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 unable to retrieve the user token from HTTP-only cookies on the client side. One solution is to create a new endpoint on the back-end that accepts the user token as a parameter and returns it in the response headers. This way, the front-end can make a request to the new endpoint and retrieve the user token, which can then be included in the headers of external API requests for authentication.
