I love the feedback!

It gives me an idea of what to write.

Having HTTPOnly and Secure in HTTP response header can help toprotect your web applicationsfromcross-site scripting and session manipulation attacks.

There are multiple ways to get this configured.

There are two possible ways to achieve this in Nginx web server.

By using add_header directive

An easy way to setcookie flag as HTTPOnly and SecureinSet-CookieHTTP response header.

Take a backup of the necessary configuration file and add the following innginx.confunderhttpblock.

However, for Internet-facing, you might use an onlineHTTP response header checker tool.

I hope this helps tosecure & harden the Nginx web server.
