[FIXED] hapijs - how to pass headers while redirecting to another route

Issue

generateToken(request, reply) {
     let token = //JWT token generated 
     request.headers.Authorization = token;
     //also tried
     request.response.header('token' , token);
     reply.redirect('/newPath')
    }

The new path does not have these headers. I also tried to set the token from 'onPreResponse' stage but same result. I am using hapi version 16.

Solution

Added it as a search param to the redirect URL. The search params won't be sent to the server when requesting a URL, so the token shouldn't end up in any logs.

res.redirect(`http://appServer:5001/?key=value#jwt=${token}`)
const token = (new URL(document.location)).searchParams.get('jwt');
