Read on for the ugly details.
no, that's not a workaround: i would have to specify each domain, but the problem is universal with all invalid cookies. >> PW again: that's not the issue: if you say you NEVER want a cookie, >> you shouldn't be asked again by Lynx if you want to accept an invalid one. > Can't argue with that. good (wry grin), so why is it so very difficult to get everyone to concentrate on this, the bug i am calling attention to? PW again again: when you say you "never" want a cookie from a domain, Lynx should NEVER AGAIN (during that session) ask you whether you want any cookie from that domain, incl invalid cookies; at present, Lynx does ask you every time it is offered an invalid cookie. it's a simple bug in the code, an oversight from when cookie-handling was introduced: it is probably a few characters in 1 line somewhere. can someone please fix it? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
