An expiration time can be set on a cookie. If you looks at your cookies in Firefox, it will show when it expires. Some have a specific expiration time and some are set to expire when the session ends, i.e., you exit the browser. Presumably the latter would be enforced by the browser which would explain why you are able to circumvent that in wget and why you are able to recover session after Firefox crashes. -- David Dooling http://www.politigenomics.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
