    _agentKey: 'login.xecurify.com:443::::::::::::::::::',
    encoding: null,
    singleUse: true
  }
}

What I have tried:

JavaScript

console.log(object['connect-options'])
console.log(object.Symbol('connect-options'))
console.log(object.connect-options)
console.log(object[Symbol('connect-options')])
console.log(object[Symbol(connect-options)])

None worked.

Hi,

You can check my written article about Basics of JavaScript Symbols[^]

I think you need to have the reference to the symbol in order for you to get the value.

Here are the steps:
1. Get the reference. Note: Just make sure about the index.
e.g.

JavaScript

let symbol = Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(object)[0]; //let's assume this is Symbol(connect-options)

2. Once you have the reference, you can use that reference as a token property.
e.g.

JavaScript

object[symbol]; // you'll get the entire value of the symbol
console.log(object[symbol]);

If you are still confused, you can reference the example below.

JavaScript

const fruits = { [Symbol("myFruits")] : { favorite: true, color: "yellow", name: "mango"}  };

let symbolReference = Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(fruits)[0]; //zero because we only have one Symbol within the array.

console.log(fruits[symbolReference]);

I hope this helps you out.

Cheers,
Jin
