Hi @muted relic. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#can I get a cookie from the request that should have been set.

Yes, you can get a cookie from the request in Next.js. The NextRequest object, which is an extension of the native Request interface, provides a cookies instance that allows you to interact with the cookies from the request.
To get a cookie, you can use the get method of the cookies instance. This method takes a cookie name as an argument and returns an object with the name and value of the cookie. If the cookie is not found, it returns undefined. If multiple cookies match the name, it will only return the first match.
Here is an example of how you can get a cookie from the request:
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
let cookie = request.cookies.get('nextjs')
console.log(cookie) // => { name: 'nextjs', value: 'fast', Path: '/' }
}
In this example, we are getting a cookie named 'nextjs' from the request. The value of the cookie is logged to the console.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request).
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
The CORS error you're encountering might be due to the server not allowing credentials to be included in requests from different origins. To fix this, you need to configure your server to allow CORS and accept credentials.
In a Next.js application, you can enable CORS and allow credentials by modifying the next.config.js file or vercel.json file.
Here's how you can do it in next.config.js:
module.exports = {
async headers() {
return [
{
// matching all API routes
source: "/api/:path*",
headers: [
{
key: "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials",
value: "true"
},
{
key: "Access-Control-Allow-Origin",
value: "*" // replace this with your origin
},
{
key: "Access-Control-Allow-Methods",
value: "GET,OPTIONS,PATCH,DELETE,POST,PUT"
},
{
key: "Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
value: "X-CSRF-Token, X-Requested-With, Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5, Content-Type, Date, X-Api-Version"
},
]
}
]
}
};

And here's how you can do it in vercel.json:
{
"headers": [
{
"source": "/api/(.*)",
"headers": [
{
"key": "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials",
"value": "true"
},
{
"key": "Access-Control-Allow-Origin",
"value": "*" // replace this with your origin
},
{
"key": "Access-Control-Allow-Methods",
"value": "GET,OPTIONS,PATCH,DELETE,POST,PUT"
},
{
"key": "Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
"value": "X-CSRF-Token, X-Requested-With, Accept, Accept-Version, Content-Length, Content-MD5, Content-Type, Date, X-Api-Version"
}
]
}
]
}

Please replace "*" in "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" with your specific origin to allow credentials.
