aiohttp client not handling cookies correctly - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to use cookies with aiohttp.ClientSession but it doesn't seem to be handling the cookies across multiple requests. That or I am not using it correctly.
I have a simple server which saves a cookie on the client. This works fine when accessed from the browser.
Server code: (modified from here)
import asyncio
import time
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_session import get_session, setup
from aiohttp_session.cookie_storage import EncryptedCookieStorage
import signal
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL)
async def handler(request):
session = await get_session(request)
last_visit = session.get('last_visit', 'Never')
if last_visit == 'Never':
message = "Welcome, I don't think you've visited here before."
else:
message = 'Welcome back, last visited: {} secs ago'.format(time.time() -
last_visit)
session['last_visit'] = time.time()
return web.Response(body=message.encode('utf-8'))
async def init(loop):
app = web.Application()
setup(app,
EncryptedCookieStorage(b'Thirty two length bytes key.'))
app.router.add_route('GET', '/', handler)
srv = await loop.create_server(
app.make_handler(), '0.0.0.0', 8080)
return srv
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(init(loop))
try:
loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
When accessed from a browser I get:
Welcome back, last visited: 1176.336282491684 secs ago
Now, I am trying to mimic this behavior within a python client, which is currently not working. I am aware that I am not persisting the cookie to file but I am trying multiple requests within the same session so this should work right?
The cookie within the client session doesn't seem to be persisting across multiple requests.
The client code:
import aiohttp
import asyncio
jar = aiohttp.CookieJar(unsafe=True)
async def blah():
async with aiohttp.ClientSession(cookie_jar=jar) as session:
for i in range(2):
async with session.get('http://localhost:8080') as resp:
print(resp.status)
print(await resp.text())
print(session.cookies)
if __name__ == '__main__':
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(blah())
When I run the client code I get:
> python client.py
