Response header set-cookie formatting, new cookies retrieval and extraction

[Infinitay]

I'm working with sending a request whose response contains a set-cookie header. I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to easily retrieve the cookies post-request? A combination of the current cookies (request header cookie) and all the set-cookies from the response header?

   • What exactly does the "Store/Send Cookies automatically" do in this case? I have them check but I don't think they're being modified. I also checked the collection settings and the headers tab to see if they were stored there, but there was nothing.
   • I know I could make a post response that does this and either outputs it into the console or sets a variable, but is there another built-in method? As of writing this, would calling res.getHeader("cookie") return the combination (updated if the keys are the same)?

2. When copying the values from set-cookie is the format correct? I noticed that there is no ; at the end of a single cookie when there are multiple cookies within that set-cookie header entry. The last property of the cookie is written (SameSite) and after its value (None) it immediately starts with the next cookie key so at time it's difficult to distinguish the cookies.

   Example (modified to display each cookie onto a new line):

   key1=value1; Domain=.domain.com; Path=/; Expires=Mon, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Nonekey2=value2; Domain=.dimain.com; Path=/; Expires=Mon, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT; Secure; SameSite=Nonekey3=value3; Path=/; Expires=Wed, 10 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=None
   

   As you can see, it's all on one line but the problem (is it a problem?) is that there's no separate after it writes one single cookie. The last property doesn't seem to append a ;. This seems like a bug to me, isn't it?

Lastly, I would like to end these questions with a few suggestions if possible with regards to cookies and headers:

1. Could you separate each cookie within set-cookie headers onto a new line?

2. Could you give us an option to export the new cookies

   • It could be as simple as either right-click menu options when right clicking on the set-cookie name box or adding a copy icon under it
   • It would be nice to have multiple options such as copy raw cookies, copy without properties/attributes, or even copy as JSON/Header/Netscape options
   • It would also be helpful to copy the combination of response set-cookie + request cookie (updated if the keys are the same)
