I'm creating a session for an auth'd user and then getting socket.io to send me the connect.sid cookie value, which I want to find the correlating value to auth the socket client.
Does anyone know how to get the value of connect.sid key in Express?
Thank you!
I found this thread useful: https://github.com/senchalabs/connect/issues/588
Connect offers a method to parse the signed cookie:
var cookieValue = connect.utils.parseSignedCookies(cookie, sessionKey);
You can reference the connect module directly from within express.
