A developer of a backend to which I am connecting is assuring me that when he sends a cookie in set-cookie header that the browser should automatically save the cookie and send it back with following requests.

Does Angular 2 block cookies from being sent?

Since backend and frontend are both running on localhost, does them being on different ports block cookies from being sent with the requests?

With a different port it's a CORS request. Set on the client 

xhr.withCredentials = true

On the server 

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true

  • I'm sending from localhost:5000 to localhost:5000 – ditoslav Jan 11 '16 at 15:02
  • Not sure what you mean by "sending from localhost:5000 to localhost:5000". Do you load the page from the same port where you make the HttpRequests to? – Günter Zöchbauer Jan 11 '16 at 15:05
  • Yes. My flask backend is serving the static files for the website and responding to the requests from the same port – ditoslav Jan 11 '16 at 15:09

    Actually, I don't know. Anyway, Angular isn't involved. This only a server<->browser issue. You could try a `POST` request. If it's a CORS issue the request will fail with a message containing "preflight".
