What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

Currently, I'm trying to add a pub/sub with @hapi/nes with cookie authentication. In production my app is using @hapi/hapi and @hapi/cookie to authenticate our REST endpoints.

This is the server code that I added:


server.register({
    plugin: Nes.plugin,
    options: {
        auth: {
            type: 'cookie',
            isSecure: config.isSecure,
            isSameSite: 'Lax'
        }
    }
});
server.subscription('/some-subscribe-endpoint');
await server.start();

This is the browser client code that I added:

import Nes from '@hapi/nes/lib/client';

const {host, protocol} = window.location;
const connectionUrl = (protocol === 'https:') ? `wss://${host}/` : `ws://${host}/`;
const client = new Nes.Client(connectionUrl);

fetch('/nes/auth', {credentials: 'same-origin'})
    .then(() => client.connect({delay: 2000, retries: 3}))
    .then(() => {
        client.subscribe(`/some-subscribe-endpoint`, (data) => {
            // do something
        });
    });

The nes/auth endpoint returns {"status":"authenticated"}, but I did see that the returned cookie size was massive:

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I also played around with the password, but that didn't really affect the size of the cookie.

I also tested in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, and all of them had the same result.

What was the result you got?

Error: Connection requires authentication

What result did you expect?

No authentication issue.
