Overview

+ +

Lynx's Cookie Jar Page displays all + of the unexpired cookies you have accumulated in the hypothetical + Cookie Jar. The cookies are obtained via + Set-Cookie MIME headers in replies from http servers, + and are used for State + Management across successive requests to the servers.

+ +

The cookies are listed by domain (server's Fully + Qualified Domain Name, or site-identifying portion of the FQDN), + and in order of decreasing specificity (number of slash-separated + symbolic elements in the path attribute of the cookie). + When Lynx sends requests to an http server whose + address tail-matches a domain in the Cookie + Jar, all its cookies with a path which head-matches + the path in the URL for that request are included as a + Cookie MIME header. The “allow” setting for + accepting cookies from each domain (always, never, or via prompt) + also is indicated in the listing.

+ +

Cookie Details + Shown

+ +

The listing also shows the port (normally 80) of the + URL for the request which caused the cookie to be sent, and + whether the secure flag is set for the cookie, in which + case it will be sent only via secure connections (presently, only + SSL). The Maximum Gobble Date, i.e., when the cookie is + intended to expire, also is indicated. Also, a server may change + the expiration date, or cause the cookie to be deleted, in its + replies to subsequent requests from Lynx. If the + server included any explanatory comments in its + Set-Cookie MIME headers, those also are displayed in the + listing.

+ +

Removing + Cookies

+ +

The domain=value pairs, and each cookie's name=value, + are links in the listing. Activating a domain=value link + will invoke a prompt asking whether all cookies in that + domain should be Gobbled (deleted from the + Cookie Jar), and/or whether the domain entry + should be Gobbled if all of its cookies have been + Gobbled, or whether to change the “allow” + setting for that domain. Activating a cookie's + name=value link will cause that particular cookie to be + Gobbled. You will be prompted for confirmations of + deletions, to avoid any accidental Gobbling.
