(Camino Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050718 Camino/0.9a2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050718 Camino/0.9a2

Camino ignores the network.cookie.lifetimePolicy preferences. A value of "2"
means session only, yet all cookies are stored permanently.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the following preferences:
   network.cookie.cookieBehavior=0
   network.cookie.lifetimePolicy=2
2. Empty Preferences->Privacy->Edit Exception List
3. Surf some sites, accepting only the cookies needed, e.g. from mozilla.org
4. Close Camino and restart.


Actual Results:  
All previous cookies are still present.

Expected Results:  
Camino should have deleted any and all cookies after closing.

i think this is invalid. IIRC, when you manually accept a cookie, you have to
specify if it's session only, and obviously we have no UI (yet) to do this, so
we accept all cookies as multi-session even with that global lifetimePolicy flag
set to 2. 

can someone confirm this?

Comment 2

[hahn]

ok, your comment implies that camino does not have a cookie lifetimePolicy yet.
changed severity to enhancement.

Comment 3

[L. H.]

UI for session accept is a dup of bug 173521.

Session management is actually bug 174070 and this is a dupe of it.
