-----------------------------------------
Hi Oleg,
First of all, for ManifoldCF, we have a workaround so what you choose to do is
immaterial to us. However, I would point out that you have pretty strong
evidence at this point that the BROWSER_COMPATIBILITY policy is not correct, at
least for one OS, and in our case for Windows (if that is not what Sebb tried)
and for two different browsers that operate on each OS. I would agree with
Sebb that keeping backwards compatibility would be a good idea, so creating a
new cookie policy (as this ticket proposes) would be the correct way to do
this, in my opinion. It sounds to me like what is unknown at this point is the
following:
- the scope of what browsers/settings/OS's the policy would apply to (more than
zero, though, clearly)
- what it is to be called
As time permits I would imagine those questions could be further answered;
while I am not in a position to do extensive work right now I may have the
opportunity within a week or two, and broaden the research to Linux versions of
Firefox, at least. Does this change your thinking at all?
