ajax get cookie,jquery - How to get a cookie from an AJAX response? - Stack Overflow

Similar to yebmouxing I could not the

xhr.getResponseHeader('Set-Cookie');

method to work. It would only return null even if I had set HTTPOnly to false on my server.

I too wrote a simple js helper function to grab the cookies from the document. This function is very basic and only works if you know the additional info (lifespan, domain, path, etc. etc.) to add yourself:

function getCookie(cookieName){

var cookieArray = document.cookie.split(';');

for(var i=0; i

var cookie = cookieArray[i];

while (cookie.charAt(0)==' '){

cookie = cookie.substring(1);

}

cookieHalves = cookie.split('=');

if(cookieHalves[0]== cookieName){

return cookieHalves[1];

}

}

return "";

}
