Description

@agentzh

I'm trying to solve a problem and this module is very close to intended workaround.

Backend app sets number of cookies and I need to alter value of a cookie in certain circumstances.

When I do:

more_set_headers "Set-Cookie: target-cookie=myvalue";

It does changes target-cookie's value but it removes other "Set-cookie" header from output.

My intention is to change value for target-cookie only without touching other cookies.

May I know is there any workaround for this? Or this can rectified by patching module itself?

Thanks.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the configuration from the issue with multiple Set-Cookie headers and observe how more_set_headers handles them. Done means changing target-cookie while preserving every other cookie; the issue names no source file or test, so locating the relevant header-processing entry point and adding coverage will require repository research.
