This implementation is used for e2e tests, as a workaround to check if file is downloadable instead of actually downloading it.

Currently I am using the following piece of code to get the headers + the status from the particular HEAD request. The issue here is that it doesn't use the authorization from the previous steps, so obviously I will have to authorize again but this time with cookies.

1) How can I get the cookies (I need only sessionID cookie) from the browser, I mean from the active session because as I said, I am already logged in? And also store sessionID for example in globals.

2) And how can I send/ use the cookie (sessionID) for authorization, in the code provided below?

  I am using JavaScript/ Node.js

  
  
  

  getHeader: async function (url) 
   var XMLHttpRequest = require("xmlhttprequest").XMLHttpRequest;
   var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
   url = "url.pdf";
   xhr.open("HEAD", url, true);
   xhr.onreadystatechange = function () 
   if (xhr.readyState == this.DONE) 
   console.log('HEADERS: ' + xhr.getAllResponseHeaders());
   console.log('STATUS: ' + xhr.status)
   
   ;
   xhr.send(null);

I think that you should use the cookie-parser module (https://www.npmjs.com/package/cookie-parser):

var express = require('express')
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')

var app = express()
app.use(cookieParser())

app.get('/', function (req, res) 
 // Cookies that have not been signed
 console.log('Cookies: ', req.cookies)

 // Cookies that have been signed
 console.log('Signed Cookies: ', req.signedCookies)
)

app.listen(8080)

Besides this, you can take a look at the ExpressJS documentation for best practices while using cookies:
https://expressjs.com/en/advanced/best-practice-security.html#use-cookies-securely
