Browser caching session cookie

[imthaghost]

So I am having a bit of trouble understanding how to work around this issue. I followed this example for creating a session cookie. Each time after the cookie is cleared (src below) and I try to create a new session cookie, a cookie does not get created. I have also tried just wiping the session cookie from inspecting elements not using the clear session function and the same result happens. I cannot create a session cookie unless I clear my browser's cache. So I guess the question here is what are some of the common practices to mitigate the browser caching session cookies and how does that look with Echo.

CreateSessionCookie:

        
	sess, err := session.Get("session", c)
	if err != nil {
		return echo.ErrInternalServerError
	}
	sess.Options = &sessions.Options{
		Path:     "/",
		MaxAge:   int(time.Hour) * 24 * 7, // 7 day expire date
		HttpOnly: true,
		Secure:   secure,
	}
	// set the new object in the session
	sess.Values["foo"] = "bar"
	// save the information into the session cookie
	err = sess.Save(c.Request(), c.Response())
         if err != nil {
		return echo.ErrInternalServerError
	}

ClearSessionCookie:

	sess, err := session.Get("session", c)
	if err != nil {
		return echo.ErrInternalServerError
	}
	// remove the session cookie
	sess.Values["foo"] = nil
	delete(sess.Values, "foo")
	// set the max age of the token to -1
	sess.Options.MaxAge = -1
	// save 
	err = sess.Save(c.Request(), c.Response())
	if err != nil {
		return echo.ErrInternalServerError
	}

Was this sorted out? I am facing something similar

Yup, I fixed my issue. The problem resided in my redirect codes. Here's a great article by Mozilla explaining the redirect codes and their purposes. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Redirections. Basically when I tried to redirect the user after logout the browser would keep a cache of the request including the cookies because of the redirect code sent in the headers. Try changing your redirect codes and you should have no issues.
