in my application (Angular 2 / Ionic 2) I implemented my own login / authentication. This basically works as follows: when you log in, the username and password are checked using a PHP server. A token is created, which is sent back to the header in the header (authorization). The response from the backend is as follows:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Host: localhost:8080
Connection: close
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.6.28
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=jagagi2le1b8i7r90esr4vmeo6; path=/
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: d7b24a1643a61706975213306446aa4e4157d167eaad9aac989067a329c492d3
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Origin, Authorization
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
Content-Length: 301
Obviously, there is an authorization header with a token present. CORS is also configured correctly, as I see authorization in the Allow-Headers header.
But when I try to get the header in Angular 2, it always returns null:
private extractDataAndSetAuthHeader(res: Response) {
if(res.headers.has("Authorization"))
{
let token = res.headers.get("Authorization");
this.setToken(token);
}
else
{
this.removeToken();
}
let body = res.json();
return body.data || { };
}
The first line of the method returns false. Also, when I check the header object in my answer, it shows me only the following (Chrome dev tools):
[[Entries]]:
Array[4]
0:{"pragma" => Array[1]}
1:{"content-type" => Array[1]}
2:{"cache-control" => Array[1]}
3:{"expires" => Array[1]}
There is no authority header in this object.
