NodeJS request reset session


I am doing a post request from my server to another server and for it i'm using the library https://github.com/request/request.

So, I use the next code:

router.post('/extern/*', function(req, res, next) {
    var path = req.params['0'];
    var input = req.body.text;
    var encript = crypto.encrypt(input);

    request.post(config.petitionServer + path).form({data: encript}).pipe(res)
});

The session has been initialized before calling this post, but when it executes, the session is reseted. So, in this case, I lose the csrf code from the session var.

The error is in the 'pipe' function, because if I call it I lose the session, not in other case, but I need to use it.

How can I use the pipe function without lose the actual session?


Solution

  • I founded the solution and it was my bad.

    Session is in req.session and the petition server was using also the express-session module. When request was received by petition server, this one replaced the session var by the one of the petition server.

    The solution was to remove express-session module from petition server.

    Anothe solution could be manage the session from the host server preventing to replace it. But I didnt do it
