Cookie-Auth not working as expected

Look at these lines . . .

https://github.com/actix/examples/blob/998f92d2e3d524366531a1acb19204420f6eed58/cookie-auth/src/main.rs#L5-L42

I would expect when going from 127.0.0.1:8080 to 127.0.0.1:8080/login and then back to 127.0.0.1:8080 to arrive at a webpage saying

Hello user1

What you actually get is

Hello Anonymous!

Also should this be placed in Actix's issues as well? I noticed in their Actix Identity Documentation they have a remarkably similar example.

use actix_web::*;
use actix_identity::{Identity, CookieIdentityPolicy, IdentityService};

async fn index(id: Identity) -> String {
    // access request identity
    if let Some(id) = id.identity() {
        format!("Welcome! {}", id)
    } else {
        "Welcome Anonymous!".to_owned()
    }
}

async fn login(id: Identity) -> HttpResponse {
    id.remember("User1".to_owned()); // <- remember identity
    HttpResponse::Ok().finish()
}

async fn logout(id: Identity) -> HttpResponse {
    id.forget();                      // <- remove identity
    HttpResponse::Ok().finish()
}

fn main() {
    let app = App::new().wrap(IdentityService::new(
        // <- create identity middleware
        CookieIdentityPolicy::new(&[0; 32])    // <- create cookie identity policy
              .name("auth-cookie")
              .secure(false)))
        .service(web::resource("/index.html").to(index))
        .service(web::resource("/login.html").to(login))
        .service(web::resource("/logout.html").to(logout));
}

Are you still seeing this issue? If so, please can you provide steps to reproduce it. I've just tested it both in httpie and in Chrome (changing /login to a GET route) and both work as expected.

Everything works fine. I can verify via curl. I was expecting to see it in html since id is being passed around but I guess it doesn't work like that.
