Quoth Karen Lewellen: 'When lynx adds a cookie to the.lynx_cookies file, does it place it at the top or the end?' Bottom. Updated cookies retain their original position.
Quoth Karen Lewellen: 'I ask because in some cases I may have several cookies for the same service in this file, with my wondering if all are needful.' Many domains create more than 1 cookie, used for different purposes. Quoth Karen Lewellen: ' I know from experience that if the file gets too large some services can no longer find their cookie.' This has never happened to me. I can believe that domains change their cookie format and may fail to handle outdated cookies, but don't know that this has ever happened to me. Quoth Karen Lewellen: 'random removal can create a disaster.' What kind of disaster? I've never had a problem removing cookies. NewYorker creates 2, stops me from seeing more than 4 articles until I remove the cookies, so I remove them. You can keep a backup. russell bell _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
