Explanation. nodejs expects setHeader('Set-Cookie', value) to be
an array. If given a string it will accept and properly send it.
However, any subsequent attempts to replace the string with an array
to send multiple Set-Cookie headers will fail; it will instead send a
single Set-Cookie header with a concatenated array. The client will only
parse the first cookie, and then you'll spend hours pulling your
hair out.
Example:
res.SetHeader('Set-Cookie', 'serialized cookie')
res.SetHeader('Set-Cookie', ['serialized cookie','another cookie'])
generates
Set-Cookie: serialized cookie,another cookie
when what you want is
Set-Cookie: serialized cookie
Set-Cookie: another cookie
