Package: w3m-el Version: 1.4.4-3 Severity: wishlist Usertags: usability X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you for w3m-el, it is the best web browser I have ever used. But, for the first month I used w3m-el, I didn't realize it supported cookies. I wish I had known sooner. To fix this, I suggest that w3m-el should not silently reject all cookies by default; it should do one of these things instead: 1. Accept all cookies and save them to disk permanently. This would be the best option. It would work just like Firefox and other popular browsers. Or: 2. Accept all cookies, but do not save them to disk. They would be lost when you quit Emacs. Or: 3. Reject all cookies, but put a yellow-colored warning "Cookie rejected." at the left side of the Location: bar at top of screen whenever a site tries to set a cookie. When you click it, w3m will show you the cookie that the site is trying to set, and offer to turn the cookie feature on. Or you could have a message in the modeline: at least in Emacs 22, words on the modeline can be made clickable or can be set so menus will pop out of them. Or: 4. Whenever a site tries to set a cookie, show a yellow Information Bar at the top of the screen. It will say: "Accept cookie PHPSESSID=3388fa56d5a3eea453780c75a9c15cce from php.net? [Accept] [Reject]" and have button.el clickable buttons. The user can click either button, or can use the normal way to go back. Or: 5. Prompt the user to (a)ccept or (r)eject in the minibuffer whenever a site tries to set a cookie. Please do not do this, it's annoying.
