Hi All,

To fix Cross site scripting (XSS), I am trying to add below config but I am
not seeing cookie in the response headers. Cookie in the browser still
showing as not secure and not http.

We are using Nginx as reverse proxy to Jetty and running a java application
on it.

Below is the nginx config:

location /abc/ {
         proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_cookie_path / "/; secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=strict";

    }
