173523 - Add cookies "debugger"

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, enhancement)

Description

[Matt Fago]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
Build Identifier: Chimera 0.5.0

Add a window that shows real-time requests for cookies, and allows cookies to be
deleted/accepted/denied. This would be in addition to the "allow cookie" sheet
in Chimera/Navigator.

This would be _very_ useful in "debugging" which cookie a website requires to
work after you have (in the past) denied the required cookie. This can be very
difficult when the required cookie is not from the same URL as the site in
question (a common occurence in on-line stores and banks).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1

[Greg K.]

This would probably be better done on Mozilla than Chimera.

Comment 2

[Matt Fago]

Shall I re-submit or modify the component, platform, and OS, or what?

Comment 3

[Sören 'Chucker' Kuklau (gone)]

That's a nice idea for web development, but totally out of the scope of Chimera.
Moving over to Mozilla, removing the deprecated [RFE], and confirming.

Comment 4

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

This is not something that 99% of users would ever use.  An extension would be
far more appropriate for this type of thing (there might even be something out
there that does this already).

WONTFIX?

Comment 5

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Resolving WONTFIX.  The notifications are there to be used if someone wants to
implement this in an extension, but this has too narrow of a focus to go into
the core.
