remove-request-cookie

Removes one cookie on the way to the service and keeps the rest - typically a session cookie the application would mistake for its own.

Parameters

Name Type Required What it does
name string yes The cookie removed.

Example

filters:
  - type: remove-request-cookie
    args:
      name: meerkat_session

Notes

The Cookie header is one string carrying every cookie, so this filter rebuilds it rather than deleting it: removing the header outright would take the application's own session with it. That is also why remove-request-header is the wrong tool for one cookie.
