Not able to read Set-Cookie response header

Here is my api call, I am trying to read Set-Cookie from response header

 return $http(config).then(function (response) {
      console.log(response.headers('Set-Cookie')); // undefined
      console.log($cookies.ovrcMfa); // undefined
    return response.data;
  });

and response header is:

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true 

Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, Set-Cookie, X-Requested-With, X-Session-Id, X-App-version, X-Target-Client, X-Origin-Domain, X-Dev-Mode

Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTIONS

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Set-Cookie

Set-Cookie : ovrc-mfa=IHfpt06ogxzLQFpwySE7vaJYg7whQ0sF; Max-Age=31536000; Path=/; Expires=Thu, 16 Jan 2020 09:30:47 GMT

if you are getting undefined then make sure you have npm install cookie-parser and imported on your project correctly as I faced the same problem and solved it like the way I have described

Set-Cookie is a forbidden response header name. You cannot read it using browser-side JavaScript.

If you need to pass that information to your JavaScript, then you need to have the server use some other mechanism (such as a different header or part of the response body).
