Self guided workshops to teach you about hapi.

Create a server that has a route configuration exposing an endpoint ``set-cookie`` and ``check-cookie`` which can be accessed using a `'GET'` request. Specifically:

```
/set-cookie
```

The `set-cookie` endpoint will set a cookie with the key 'session' and the value `{key : 'makemehapi'}`. The cookie should be `base64json` encoded, should expire in `10 ms`, and have a domain scope of `localhost`.  The response is unimportant for this exercise, and may be anything you like.

```
/check-cookie
```

The `check-cookie` endpoint will have cookies received from the `/set-cookie` endpoint. If the `session` key is present in cookies then simply return `{user : 'hapi'}`, otherwise return an `unauthorized` access error.

##HINTS

In your `server.route()` function, you may add the following option:

```js
config: {
    state: {
        parse: true,
        failAction: 'log'
    }
}
```

By using this option, we can configure the server to handle cookies in various ways.

`Hapi` provides a way to manage cookies for a specific url path.

```js
server.state('session', {
    path: '/',
});
```

We can set cookies while replying to request as follows:

```js
reply('success').state('session', 'session')
```

Cookie values are stored in server state, accessible using following code:

```js
var session = request.state.session;
```

More information about handling of cookies in `hapi` can be found in the Hapi directory in `node_modules` here [API](http://hapijs.com/api).
