    Hi Nikita,

     

    So we've added a preliminary fix.

    If you add a Cookie header parameter, and send it via the Interactive Api Doc's Try it our form, it will be proxied to your target server.

    However, there is a caveat. We do the above step manually ( or something like that ), and Interactive Api Docs will not hold a cookie that gets sent /back/ from the target server.

     

    We will release this and the 502 Gateway issue this week.

     

    As part of our new release, we've updated the Interactive docs to include an *Authoriazation* button, which might help with your Cookie header... looking forward to see if that gives you the edge you need!

     

    Happy Wednesday :)

Hi again,

 

So you've hit a transport bug, we use cookies to authenticate SwaggerHub requests and they seem to be clashing with the Try It Out requests.

 

We're working on a solution and apologize for any inconvenience.

We'll post back here, as soon as we know more.

      Hi again

      I am very grateful that you're working on my issues.

      Do I understand correct that I can add a cookie header to a request , and it will exists in the request, which comes directly into the web application, but I can not get cookie header in the response?

      I'm just trying to add a Cookie header to my request through parameters, but I still can't see it in the request that comes to web app.

      Here is my spec:

      parameters:
        - name: Cookie
          in: header
          type: string
          default: "Some Cookie"

        Hey...

         

        So that should work... but we haven't released to production yet. We'll most likely release before the end of the week, and we can update this thread as soon as we do.
