Patch to implement shared cookies via libelysium's ECookies object (4.11 KB, patch)
2003-06-08 21:51 UTC, Rodney Dawes 		none Details | Review

Description Rodney Dawes 2003-06-07 14:20:43 UTC 
GnomeVFS needs to transparently support HTTP cookies so that all applications using the
library will support them. I have made a small patch to gnome-vfs to make the http module
use the shared cookies code that I am writing in libelysium. I will attach that patch here as
soon as I release a new version of libelysium which has this code. Maybe we want to look at
moving this code into gnome-vfs itself, and having it be a public API so other non-gnome-vfs
applications can share the cookies db.

Adding PATCH keyword and setting priority to high because of the patch.

I don't think I acutally wanna support cookies transparently in gnome-vfs.
gnome-vfs http/dav methods primary goal is not beeing a library for browsers but
accessing files and folders through dav/http. If you need a http library you
better use libsoup or something similar.
On the other hand if your application really needs cookies support you already
can do it with the send-additional-headers/received-headers callback in gnome-vfs.
