Description Ernst Bachmann 2003-02-18 12:35:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Unspecified

Older versions of Konqueror (not sure if 1.0 or 2.0) allowed to edit the name/value of an cookie using Preferences/Configure/Cookies/Management.
Current versions still have the edit boxes there, but they are read-only now.

I was using that feature a lot while developing web-applications, to check how the system reacts to forged cookies and such.
It was really great for debugging (saved me a lot of handwritten http requests with telnet) so it would be really great to get that feature back.

Thanks

Hello, 
 
As the co-author and maintainer of that module I can tell you that we never had 
that capability. Indeed the read-only appearance of the edit boxes have 
changed, for the same reason you were confused by them :), but they have 
always been read-only. Anyways, I'll leave this open and put it on my TODO list, 
but it is going to have a very low priority, sorry... 
 
Regards, 
Dawit A.

This feature will be also very useful for Penetration Testing. Please, consider to raise its priority. :)

Good work. Best regards.

I recently shifted from firefox to konqueror to firefox and this is one of the things i'm missing the most...

Being able to edit cookies is something that is very useful, I really think you should have that feature!

Cheers!
