SameSite=None is becoming another cookie - scala

I am setting cookie through headers in Scala (2.10)/Play Framework (2.3). I am thinking of doing it this way o/w I will have to update the framework to use in-built functionality which I cannot do as of now. Below is my code for reference:
Test URL: https://elbtest.s2d6.com/x/?x=c&z=s&v=7100096
val cookieString = "949413017=533c892b32cf4a46961a38f8c56b33eb320412596|6386|323064|7100096|14988;SameSite=None;Expires=Wed, 30 Sep 2020 12:45:30 GMT;Path=/;Domain=s2d6.com;Secure"
val finalURL = "https://www.google.com/"
resp = Redirect(finalURL).withHeaders(SET_COOKIE -> cookieString)
In the browser, the above cookie '949413017' is being set but along with another cookie with name 'SameSite'. Because of this, I am unable to access my cookie in the requests that follows. PFA the response in browser:
Chrome Version: Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
Any help in understanding in why this is happening is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!

You're calling withHeaders using SET_COOKIE. You should be using the built-in cookie:
Redirect(finalURL).withCookies(Cookie("theme", "blue"))
See https://blog.knoldus.com/using-cookies-in-play-framework/ for an example.

Just A tip ,if we use SameSite=None anywhere in the value of the Set-Cookie header, then Play Framework mistakenly see that as the beginning of another cookie !
What about using the standard header Set-Cookie?
Set-Cookie: flavor=choco; SameSite=None; Secure
Refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie/SameSite

How can I find out why ISAPI is returning a 302 status for a specific file?

I have a website hosted served by IIS 10 on a Windows Server (2019) running Plesk. The site is mainly Classic ASP. I have a staging subdomain at staging.example.com, with the production site at www.example.com.
The two are fairly strictly separated, except that I don’t store image files, PDFs and such things on the staging server; I have a URL rewrite directive that redirects to the production site with a 302 status based on the URL not matching the following regex:
\.(php|asp|js|css|csv|json|htm|html|svg|svgz)(\?.+)?$
This generally works well: ASP pages are served from the staging site when the staging URL is called, but images on the page are pulled from the production site.
Except that there’s one ASP file which – for some reason – gives a 302 and redirects to the production site no matter what I do. The file exists in both locations. I’ve tested the URL in the pattern tester provided in the IIS URL-rewrite section, and it matches the pattern (meaning it shouldn’t redirect).
When I trace the request (that is, the initial request to the staging URL) in Firefox’s browser console, I get the following response headers (redacted):
HTTP/2 302 Found
cache-control: no-cache
content-type: text/html

I’ve painstakingly gone through the entire file and all the file includes within it, and I can’t find any kind of Response.Redirect in any of them that might be responsible.
So it seems it’s IIS that’s redirecting with a 302… despite the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a directive that tells it to do this.
Is there a way to trace exactly what on the server is causing this 302 for one specific file? Some sort of tracing mechanism that tells me where the request gets passed on to before the 302 response is returned?
 
 
Update 26 Dec
Based on samwu’s comment, I’ve enabled Failed Request Tracing for the page, and looking through the resulting .frb file, it’s clear that none of the rewrite conditions are met – they all have succeed: false. It seems the redirect is not happening in the WWW Server at all, in fact, but in the ISAPI extension. This is the only place that the production site URL is mentioned at all in the request trace (except of course in the GENERAL_RESPONSE_HEADER section at the very end):
ISAPI_START
MODULE_SET_RESPONSE_SUCCESS_STATUS ModuleName="IsapiModule", Notification="EXECUTE_REQUEST_HANDLER", HttpStatus="302", HttpReason="Object moved"
GENERAL_SET_RESPONSE_HEADER HeaderName="Location", HeaderValue="https://www.example.com/path/to/file.asp", Replace="false"
GENERAL_SET_RESPONSE_HEADER HeaderName="Content-Length", HeaderValue="201", Replace="false"
GENERAL_SET_RESPONSE_HEADER HeaderName="Content-Type", HeaderValue="text/html", Replace="false"
GENERAL_SET_RESPONSE_HEADER HeaderName="Cache-control", HeaderValue="no-cache", Replace="false"
NOTIFY_MODULE_COMPLETION ModuleName="IsapiModule", Notification="EXECUTE_REQUEST_HANDLER", fIsPostNotificationEvent="false", CompletionBytes="0", ErrorCode="The operation completed successfully. (0x0)"
ISAPI_END
In the ISAPI Filters section in IIS Manager, there are four filters: a 32-bit and a 64-bit version for ASP.Net 2.0 and the same for ASP.Net 4.0, all called aspnet_filter.dll. I’m guessing these are standard filters – I know for certain, at least, that we haven’t mucked about with any ISAPI filters at all.
As should be obvious by now, I’m not really a server admin, and ISAPI filters are definitely above my level of knowledge.
So how do I proceed from here? How do I figure out why ISAPI is redirecting?

Uber API issue with CORS

First time asking a question here. I'm a beginner at this, but i'm truly stumped at the problem i'm facing.
Browsers in use:
Safari and Firefox (both on Mac OS Sierra)
Firefox (Linux - Ubuntu 16.04.2)
I am registered as an Uber Developer and have registered an App in the Dashboard. I'm only using the Server Token for authentication at the moment. In the Dashboard, I have set the following entries in the "Authorizations" tab of the App for CORS (Optional URI for CORS Support):
http://localhost:8000 <-- web server in my PC
https://subdomain.mydomain.com <--- remote web server
A few months ago i created a web app using HTML, CSS and JS (with Jquery v2.2.4) to play around with the Ride Estimates API and was able to get it to report data for many locations in my area successfully. Somehow it no longer works. I'm trying to fix that and improve the functionality. However, i just can't get past the initial query to the API because of CORS issues that were not existent before.
My API URL is:
https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********}
When i paste that in the address bar of the browser i get valid JSON:
{"prices":[{"localized_display_name":"uberX","distance":1.58,"display_name":"uberX","product_id":"811c3224-5554-4d29-98ae-c4366882011f","high_estimate":3,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":2,"low_estimate":2,"duration":420,"estimate":"2-3\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"X English","distance":1.58,"display_name":"X English","product_id":"8fe2c122-a4f0-43cc-97e0-ca5ef8b57fbc","high_estimate":4,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":3,"low_estimate":3,"duration":420,"estimate":"3-4\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"uberXL","distance":1.58,"display_name":"uberXL","product_id":"eb454d82-dcef-4d56-97ca-04cb11844ff2","high_estimate":4,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":3,"low_estimate":3,"duration":420,"estimate":"3-4\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"Uber Black","distance":1.58,"display_name":"Uber Black","product_id":"ba49000c-3b04-4f54-8d50-f7ae0e20e867","high_estimate":6,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":4,"low_estimate":4,"duration":420,"estimate":"4-6\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"Uber SUV","distance":1.58,"display_name":"Uber SUV","product_id":"65aaf0c2-655a-437d-bf72-5d935cf95ec9","high_estimate":7,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":5,"low_estimate":5,"duration":420,"estimate":"5-7\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"}]}
I then proceed to set up JS (w/ JQuery) code in webpage...
var url = "https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********}";
$.getJSON(url, function(result){
console.log(result);
});
Uploading the HTML and JS to my remote web server and then loading the webpage in any of my browsers yields a 200 status from Uber API. However, the console log shows CORS blocking my request (PROBLEM #1):
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********}. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
Then, in the Inspector view of both Mac Browsers, under the Network / Resources areas, i see the 200 Status message from the GET request. However, along with the Response message (PROBLEM #2):
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
The Request Headers are:
GET /v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********} HTTP/1.1

In Firefox for Linux i sometimes don't get the Syntax Error; i always seem to get it on the Mac Browsers. In Linux, when i do get that error, then clicking on the "Edit and Resend" Headers button (resending the Headers but without really editing the Headers), the Syntax Error disappears and the Response text actually shows the Uber API Object that is supposed to be there... but i still get the CORS Blocked message on the Console Log. I really don't understand why this is, but it seems contradictory. In the end, i am unable to get to use the API data that, using the same method months ago, i could get for several dozens of locations.
I have looked for answers in similar questions but so far have found none that apply to my case. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Getting really frustrated... really stuck here.
This issue was caused by the API not including the header correctly. This issue is resolved and the api is now working as expected. Also, the allow origin header will only be returned in a response if an origin is specified in the request.

Using Flask-Security Roles with Flask-JWT REST API

I am building a Flask-based REST API and using Flask-JWT to handle JWT auth. I also want to use the built in roles management with Flask-Security. However, Flask-Security's #roles_required() decorator assumes I am showing a Flask view when it fails.
Here is my token endpoint (which is working as I want):
$ http POST localhost:5000/auth/token username='test' password='test'
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Length: 192
Content-Type: application/json

}
Here is a successful response to a resource that does not have any role requirement (using only #jwt_required) This is also working as I want:
$http GET localhost:5000/protected Authorization:'JWT eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE0NDcwMDQ3NDYsIm5iZiI6MTQ0NzAwNDc0NiwiZXhwIjoxNDQ3MDA1MDQ2LCJpZGVudGl0eSI6MX0.RFIeaLuvJNM9fDjFYFQ7sh_WaDVU-_aM7e46tVJzlBQ'

When I do the same for a resource that has roles required (such as admin in this example), it seems to assume I have a page to display such as /login which I do not since it is a headless REST API:
$ http GET localhost:5000/admin Authorization:'JWT eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE0NDcwMDQ3NDYsIm5iZiI6MTQ0NzAwNDc0NiwiZXhwIjoxNDQ3MDA1MDQ2LCJpZGVudGl0eSI6MX0.RFIeaLuvJNM9fDjFYFQ7sh_WaDVU-_aM7e46tVJzlBQ'

<p>You should be redirected automatically to target URL: /. If not click the link.
I know Flask-Security uses Flask-Principal behind the scene for its roles management (#roles_required, etc.) and it ties into the RoleMixin and UserMixin for the datastore which is very nice. However, if there is no way to get Flask-Security to just allow the resource through without using my JWT header, then maybe the best bet is to build my own decorators which uses Flask-Principal to manage the roles.
Does anyone have any experience with this? The idea is that the entire front end can and will be built in whatever language we need and that means it may not be Flask's templates/views which is what Flask-Security appears to be doing.
Thank you for any insight anyone can provide!
Instead of a redirect, you would want to respond with an HTTP status code 403.
Your best bet is indeed to create your own decorator to manage the roles, and move away from using Flask-Security entirely.
The author of Flask-Security has mentioned that there are better ways to secure APIs, and it makes even more sense as the library is not maintained.
Flask-JWT or Flask-JWT-Extended are perfect candidates for this task. The former would require a bit more boilerplate to get things going. There is a stale PR suggesting an API to support roles, that you could use to create your own decorator if you decide to go with Flask-JWT.
The Flask-JWT-Extended docs suggest a simpler solution that might fit your case. You should follow the custom decorators section of the documentation for the full example, but here's the decorator in the nutshell:
from functools import wraps
from flask import jsonify
from flask_jwt_extended import (
verify_jwt_in_request, get_jwt_claims
)
def admin_required(fn):
#wraps(fn)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
verify_jwt_in_request()
claims = get_jwt_claims()
if claims['roles'] != 'admin':
return jsonify(msg='Admins only!'), 403
else:
return fn(*args, **kwargs)
return wrapper
This code looks for a roles claim in the JWT, and returns a 403 response if it is not admin.

CAS set-up using restlet API to secure REST services

I was trying to use it for Single sing on. I was able to successfully secure my web services/pages and want to extend it to my REST APIs (services) as well. I am using CAS 4.0.0.
I followed this link http://jasig.github.io/cas/4.0.0/protocol/REST-Protocol.html and change the web.xml as suggested and added the following jar to my CAS deployment WEB-INF/lib folder:
cas-server-integration-restlet-4.0.0.jar
org.restlet.jar
org.restlet.ext.spring.jar
org.restlet.ext.servlet.jar
The Call to the "v1/tickets" is reaching the restlet-frame work but I am getting a 404 error to my rest client

How to make browser stop caching GWT nocache.js

I'm developing a web app using GWT and am seeing a crazy problem with caching of the app.nocache.js file in the browser even though the web server sent a new copy of the file!
I am using Eclipse to compile the app, which works in dev mode. To test production mode, I have a virtual machine (Oracle VirtualBox) with a Ubuntu guest OS running on my host machine (Windows 7). I'm running lighttpd web server in the VM. The VM is sharing my project's war directory, and the web server is serving this dir.
I'm using Chrome as the browser, but the same thing happens in Firefox.
Here's the scenario:
The web page for the app is blank. Accorind to Chrome's "Inspect Element" tool, it's because it is trying fetch 6E89D5C912DD8F3F806083C8AA626B83.cache.html, which doesn't exist (404 not found).
I check the war directory, and sure enough, that file doesn't exist.
The app.nocache.js on the browser WAS RELOADED from the web server (200 OK), because the file on the server was newer than the browser cache. I verified that file size and timestamp for the new file returned by the server were correct. (This is info Chrome reports about the server's HTTP response)
However, if I open the app.nocache.js on the browser, the javascript is referring to 6E89D5C912DD8F3F806083C8AA626B83.cache.html!!! That is, even though the web server sent a new app.nocache.js, the browser seems to have ignored that and kept using its cached copy!
Goto Google->GWT Compile in Eclipse. Recompile the whole thing.
Verify in the war directory that the app.nocache.js was overwritten and has a new timestamp.
Reload the page from Chrome and verify once again that the server sent a 200 OK response to the app.nocache.js.
The browser once again tries to load 6E89D5C912DD8F3F806083C8AA626B83.cache.html and fails. The browser is still using the old cached copy of app.nocache.js.
Made absolutely certain in the war directory that nothing is referring to 6E89D5C912DD8F3F806083C8AA626B83.cache.html (via find and grep)
What is going wrong? Why is the browser caching this nocache.js file even when the server is sending it a new copy?
Here is a copy of the HTTP request/response headers when clicking reload in the browser. In this trace, the server content hasn't been recompiled since the last GET (but note that the cached version of nocache.js is still wrong!):

The best way to avoid browser caching is set the expiration time to now and add the max-age=0 and the must-revalidate controls.
This is the configuration I use with apache-httpd
ExpiresActive on
<LocationMatch "nocache">
ExpiresDefault "now"
Header set Cache-Control "public, max-age=0, must-revalidate"
</LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch "\.cache\.">
ExpiresDefault "now plus 1 year"
</LocationMatch>
your configuration for lighthttpd should be
server.modules = (
"mod_expire",
"mod_setenv",
)
...
$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.nocache\." {
setenv.add-response-header = ( "Cache-Control" => "public, max-age=0, must-revalidate" )
expire.url = ( "" => "access plus 0 days" )
}
$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.cache\." {
expire.url = ( "" => "access plus 1 years" )
}
We had a similar issue. We found out that timestamp of the nocache.js was not updated with gwt compile so had to touch the file on build. And then we also applied the fix from #Manolo Carrasco Moñino. I wrote a blog about this issue. http://programtalk.com/java/gwt-nocachejs-cached-by-browser/
We are using version 2.7 of GWT as the comment also points out.
There are two straightforward solutions (second is modified version of first one though)
1) Rename your *.html file which has a reference to *.nocache.js to i.e. MyProject.html to MyProject.jsp
Now search the location of you *.nocache.js script in MyProject.html
<script language="javascript" src="MyProject/MyProject.nocache.js"></script>
add a dynamic variable as a parameter for the JS file, this will make sure actual contents are being returned from the server every time. Following is example
<script language="javascript" src="MyProject/MyProject.nocache.jsp?dummyParam=<%= "" + new java.util.Date().getTime() %>"></script>
Explanation: dummyParam will be of no use BUT will get us our intended results i.e. will return us 200 code instead of 304
Note: If you will use this technique then you will need to make sure that you are pointing to right jsp file for loading your application (Before this change you was loading your app using HTML file).
2) If you dont want to use JSP solution and want to stick with your html file then you will need java script to dynamically add the unique parameter value on the client side when loading the nocache file. I am assuming that should not be a big deal now for you given the solution above.
I have used first technique successfully, hope this will help.
The app.nocache.js on the browser WAS RELOADED from the web server (200 OK), because the file on the server was newer than the browser cache. I verified that file size and timestamp for the new file returned by the server were correct. (This is info Chrome reports about the server's HTTP response)
I wouldn't rely on this. I've seen a bit of strange behaviour in Chrome's dev tools with the network tab in combination with caching (at least, it's not 100% transparent for me). In case of doubt, I usually still consult Firebug.
So probably Chrome still uses the old version. It may have decided long ago, that it will never have to reload the resource again. Clearing the cache should resolve this. And then make sure to set the correct caching headers before reloading the page, see e.g. Ideal HTTP cache control headers for different types of resources.
Open the page in cognito mode just to get-rid of cache issue and unblock yourself.
You need to configure cache time as mentioned in others comments.
After unsuccessfully preventing caching via Apache I created a bash script that root runs every minute in a cron job on my Linux Tomcat server.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Touches GWT nocache.js files in the Tomcat web app directory to prevent caching.
# Execute this script every minute in a root cron job.
#
cd /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps
find . -name '*nocache.js' | while read file; do
logger "Touching file '$file'"
touch "$file"
done
