From b4b86e9286ba175ba0da4d19e165660bed7002e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 17:53:12 +0100 Subject: cookies: don't read cookie files from ancient browsers Remove the code that attempted to read cookie files from well-known browser locations. This code was written for ancient browsers, and only knew about Mozilla and Netscape. While it's possible that these browsers are still alive and still use the same config locations and cookie file formats, the only Mozilla-based browser that still matters is Firefox. Firefox uses a sqlite database for cookies, located in a slightly different config path. Just remove this code. --- DOCS/man/en/options.rst | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/en/options.rst b/DOCS/man/en/options.rst index 38a615ea72..6b8041c192 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/en/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/en/options.rst @@ -435,8 +435,7 @@ --cookies-file= (network only) - Read HTTP cookies from (default: ``~/.mozilla/`` and - ``~/.netscape/``) and skip reading from default locations.
