Hello!
I am using Ktor as common library for platforms iOS and Android
our backend services are session and cookie based, where I first do authorization call, as response I get token, using that token as cookie header I need to make next consecutive requests for which ktor client is adding encoded value instead of actually passed value for which my backend is not providing valid response, can anyone help me in resolving this, upon verifying using proxy tools, if my backend is expecting token = LYJxQGo1pgmP_Eu-tAMmcA..|1636367566|ckC8hI-v1vj1KIz_4CDKupRDUhk., ktor is passing LYJxQGo1pgmP_Eu-tAMmcA..%2%2%21636367566|ckC8hI-v1vj1KIz_4CDKupRDU

Could you please describe how exactly do you get a token and how do you send it to a server? Also, please share a code snippet.

Thanks for the reply, please see my code snippet below

suspend fun ssoAuth(userName: String, password: String): HttpResponse {
    val httpResponse: HttpResponse = <http://client.post|client.post> {
        url("<https://ssgosghop.emc.com/NGSSOauthRest/service/v1/amisauth.json>")
        body = TextContent(
            text = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?><user><username>$userName</username><password>$password</password><authmode>0</authmode></user>",
            contentType = ContentType.Text.Plain
        )
        headers {
            append("apikey", "l7xxf97e3b26235f4f7585256ba489e78d37")
        }
    }

    /* token =
         Json.parseToJsonElement(httpResponse.readText()).jsonObject["object"]?.jsonObject?.get("authResult")?.jsonObject?.get(
             "token"
         ).toString()*/
    return httpResponse
}

above code is to get token

suspend fun getVersion(token: String): VersionResponse? {
    return try {
        val response: VersionResponse? = client.get {
            url("<https://cloudiq.emc.com/api/version>")
            val session = "ngssosession=$token"
            println("fafa session - $session")
            headers {
                append("Cookie", session)
                append("content-type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8")
                append("Accept", "*/*")
                append("Accept-Charset", "UTF-8")
                append("accept-encoding", "deflate, gzip, br, zstd")
            }
        }
        response
    } catch (exception: Exception) {
        exception.printStackTrace()
        null
    }
}

Please try to use the cookie function for sending data for a session instead of manually adding the Cookie header:

cookie("ngssosession", token)

@Aleksei Tirman [JB] I have also tried that approach but no luck

[hsyogesh]

{
"object": {
"authResult": {
"status": "SUCCESS",
"token": "_dLm9NyZzfQXcizn4v2BAA..|1636376938|HTY8w-rSOfYnH7i3fxQCy4GrEYs.",
"operation": "VALID_USER",
"userProps": [{
"propName": "LAST_NAME",
"propValue": "H S"
}, {
"propName": "GIVEN_NAME",
"propValue": "Yogesh"
}, {
"propName": "UID",
"propValue": "1311262"

"propName": "EMC_IDENTITY",

"propValue": "[e-mail]"
}]
},
"serviceFault": null

}

if u notice in above screen shot, its replacing with encoded characters for special symbols for which our server is not responding with valid response

[hsyogesh]

@Aleksei Tirman [JB] I also cross checked by adding breakpoints in proxy tools and correcting the cookie value, upon correcting cookie value i get valid response

The problem was KTOR-993.
