Hi Gophers, I'm facing a very weird error:
func getUserName(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) string { c, err := r.Cookie("session") if err != nil { http.Redirect(w, r, rootUrl, http.StatusSeeOther) return "" } log.Println("session raw", c.Value) var s session fmt.Printf("%+v\n", s) reader := strings.NewReader(c.Value) if err := gob.NewDecoder(reader).Decode(&s); err != nil { log.Println(err) http.Error(w, "server error: gob decoding", http.StatusInternalServerError) return "" } return s.Name // userName } With the above code, I'm getting the following: 2023/07/21 18:11:00 net/http: invalid byte '\x7f' in Cookie.Value; dropping invalid bytes 2023/07/21 18:11:00 session raw &sessionNameTextA {Name: Text:} 2023/07/21 18:11:00 unexpected EOF The Cookie session is encoded with gob Encode. It should only contain plain text strings right? So where does the problem come from? The whole program is at: https://github.com/suntong/lang/blob/master/lang/Go/src/net/HttpD/demo-redirect.go The recent change that got me into the problem is: https://github.com/suntong/lang/commit/ee5adac80edaf3b8d04e483b2257786268d5250f Please help.
