Question

My dataset download script stopped working after a login redirect change How do I fix session cookies

Answer 1

A login redirect change usually breaks scripts because the old session cookie is no longer being set, forwarded, or accepted after authentication. This often happens when providers add: 

1. New sso flows

2. CSRF Protections

3. SameSite cookies policies 

4. OAuth redirects 

5. Cloudfares/bot checks 

First inspect what changed 

Open browser Devtools-network tab during login and check : 

1. Which browser now sets the auth cookies 

2. Whether redirects changed

3. Whether the cookie name changed

4. Whether the final download request mode needs: 

1. Bearer token

2. CSRF header 

3. Refreshed cookie 

Common issue is 

login.example.com  -> sets cookie

download.example.com -> cookie not sent
