VS Code REST Client Extension: How to access nested response headers

Question

I'm trying to access 'nested' headers with the REST Client extension for VS Code. I defined a GET CSRF_Token request that stores the "Set-Cookie" header inside a @token_response variable.

However the header looks like this:

'csrftoken=aGHuGkRbApH3qAksHHR3uaOKG0eZsYne; expires=Wed, 22 Nov 2023 08:40:05 GMT; Max-Age=31449600; Path=/; SameSite=Lax'

I already tried to access it with something like:

@csrf_token = {{token_response.0.split(';').0.split('=').1}}

and

@csrf_token = {{token_response.//[0].//split(';')[0].//split('=')[1]}}

But this does not seem to be the correct syntax. Also the documentation does not contain any hints on that yet, sadly.

Now my question is:

Is there a way to only extract the part of the header that contains the value of the "csrftoken" key? And if so, how?

Here is my code:


# Get CSRF Token
# @name getToken

GET http://{{host}}/api/csrf_token

@token_response = {{getToken.response.headers.Set-Cookie}}
@csrf_token = {{token_response}}


######


# Edit existing xyz
PATCH http://{{host}}/api/xyz/1
content-type: application/json
x-csrftoken: {{csrf_token}}
origin: http://{{host}}

{
    "name": "some name"
}

Thanks a lot in advance! :)
