Expressjs+socket.io+express-session
express, node.js, socket.io-1.0
Solution
I've created solution for you: enter link description here. As you can see socket object has handshake property which include request headers with cookie.
Problem
I have this code in my server.js. ``` var app = require('express')(), session = require('express-session'), cookie = require('cookie'), cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'), manager = require('./sockets/manager'); var sessionStore = new session.MemoryStore(); app.use(cookieParser('secret')); app.use(session({ name: 'sid', store: sessionStore, secret: 'secret', saveUninitialized: true, resave: true, cookie: { path: '/', httpOnly: true, secure: false, maxAge: null } })); var server = require('http').Server(app).listen(8888), io = require('socket.io')(server); io.use(function(socket, next) { var data= socket.request; if (data.headers.cookie) { data.cookie = cookie.parse(cookieParser.signedCookie(data.headers.cookie, 'secret')); console.log('data.cookies ( %s )', JSON.stringify(data.cookie)); // print 'io=id_place', cookies doesn't have sid, why? if (data.cookie.sid) { data.sid = request.cookie.sid; sessionStore.get(request.cookie.sid, function(err, session) { request.session = session; }); } } next(); }); manager.use(io); ``` Console log shows me this cookie request.cookies ( {"io":"lHKSseNH5UrnJisSAAAA"} ). I've just seen many examples with expressjs 3 and socket 0.9, but I have: "socket.io": "^1.0.6", "express": "~4.5.1", "express-session": "~1.6.4" and it doesn't work. Have I any mistakes?
