Issue 535: Support cookies on file:// http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=535
Comment #8 by paul.s.downey: There's an emergent class of applications, which includes TiddlyWiki, Desktop widgets and HTML Applications (HTAs) for which storing cookies for a file URI is extremely useful for maintaining context, such as the wiki author and preferences, across browser sessions. Whilst I'm impressed the development team are cautions in opening up "undocumented" features which have a security impact, Chrome is currently the only major browser not supporting cookies for file URIs, rendering it unusable for a number of existing, often innovative, web applications. This is a shame, because it looks very promising, and would otherwise be a browser I'd advocate people to switch to. Restricting the scope of a stored cookies to the single file URI which created them, is perfectly acceptable for the TiddlyWiki usecase, and a simply implemented rule. In addition, most browsers issue a challenge when opening a file URI for the first time, warning the user using language similar to downloading an application. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
