Cookies seem to be rewritten, malformed

I have a glitch project which serves a templated website. I have found that the browser is sending several cookies in the cookie: header, but my server running on glitch receives a different value for this header. The value it is receiving is a single character: =. Unfortunately this is an invalid cookie value, so cookie parsing would fail, and my hapi server would serve a 400 bad request. As an interim fix I have disabled cookie parsing on my server.

Does it seem plausible that some glitch infrastructure in between the client and my glitch project might be rewriting this header? At least this conclusion is where my debugging has left me. I would greatly appreciate any help, or info from others who may have experienced the same thing.

Thanks!

I do have the same problem and it looks like a glitch problem.
mine is even worse, I can’t even run the basic Hapi tutorial on the glitch anymore.

@marsPure I am also using hapi. In case it helps, one workaround is to add this to the server config to ignore cookie parsing errors:

const server = Hapi.server({
  // ...
  routes: { state: { failAction: 'ignore' } }
  // ...
});
