Good catch! Since we do not require cookies for our servers/load balancing, we never came across this issue. However, I am thinking whether we should build proper Cookie support into tus-java-client to save other users the hassle figuring that out. I won't be available for the next few days, so my responses my take some time.
We briefly talked about allowing different HTTP stacks in #14 but the benefits (from my rather limited experience) of doing so did not justify the amount of work required. However, I am always open to discuss this. |

We encountered a problem using tus-java-client when server is behind the aws load balancer. For things to work correctly, we need to be able to read the
set-cookieheader and send it back on future requests.This could be implemented directly in the client, but I wanted to make as few changes(and as low-impact as possible). So instead I opted to add a hook after connection is opened. In our usage code we subclass
TusClientand override the newly addedonConnectionOpenedto retrieve the headers andprepareConnectionto inject cookies later on.PS: I think it would be worth making the connection setup and preparation more easily hookable on a more fundamental level so one could use their own custom HTTP stack(without having to resort to the horribly low-level and undiscoverable
URLStreamHandler).
