A patch has been attached to http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrontPage, and I've added a link to it at the bottom of the page.
My work is based on the latest 1.11.4 version. Now use --load-cookies-sqlite and --save-cookies-sqlite to load/save cookies in Firefox 3.x format. I've also updated doc/wget.texi and po/wget.pot. Please note this patch is still preliminary. Some of the major problems are: 1. I'm not familiar with the configure system, so now I just added a -lsqlite3 into src/Makefile.in, surely it should be replaced by some more sophisticated solution. 2. The SQLite API requires the filenames to be encoded in UTF-8, regardless of the locale used. The necessary charset conversion is not done currently. 3. While I was testing my code, I encountered some cookie expiry values from my Firefox 3.x cookie database that are too large to fit into time_t. Currently, I use a dirty hack so that any expiry value too large to fit into time_t will be replaced by the "largest possible" time_t value, assuming that time_t is some sort of a signed integral type. 4. apparently, the firefox 3.x cookie file does not have a domain_exact field as in a firefox 2.x cookie file. But this fields is present in the cookie struct. So I assume that if the domain name begins with a dot '.', then it's not exact; otherwise it is exact. 5. the firefox 3.x cookie file contains a isHttpOnly field, which I don't know how to generate from cookie struct fields. best regards! 2008/7/29 Micah Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > 宋浩 wrote: > > Hi, folks: > > I'm currently using Firefox 3.0 on my Ubuntu 8.04 system.
