With deferSessionRefresh, the client's refresh request was a bodyless POST. Node/Next.js/Nuxt turn that into a non-null empty stream with no content-type header, and the endpoint's application/json media-type check rejected it with 415 before the handler ever ran, so the session never refreshed. Send a JSON body from the client, and drop body parsing on /get-session server-side since the handler never reads it.
Better Auth
Better Auth is a framework-agnostic authentication (and authorization) framework for TypeScript. It provides a comprehensive set of features out of the box and includes a plugin ecosystem that simplifies adding advanced functionalities with minimal code in a short amount of time. Whether you need 2FA, multi-tenant support, or other complex features, it lets you focus on building your actual application instead of reinventing the wheel.
Why Better Auth
Authentication in the TypeScript ecosystem is a half-solved problem. Other open-source libraries often require a lot of additional code for anything beyond basic authentication. Rather than just pushing third-party services as the solution, I believe we can do better as a community—hence, Better Auth.
