Hi John,<br><br>Thank you for your suggestions! I didn't have a chance to try them today at work. I will try them on Mon. I'm on Windows and I'm using the Mozilla Firefox browser, but I could use the explorer as well.<br><br>Thank you!<br>Irina.<br><br><br><b><i>John J Lee <jjl@pobox.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> On Thu, 3 Aug 2006, John J Lee wrote:<br>[...]<br>> 2.

That's the preferred way <br>to load IE cookies (always assuming that MSIECookieJar still works -- it <br>parses an undocumented MS file format...). If there's an argument, I <br>think twill should attempt to .load() using each class in turn -- <br>LoadError tells you it's the wrong format for that class (MSIECookieJar, <br>MozillaCookieJar, LWPCookieJar -- order shouldn't matter). If you add <br>support for Firefox cookie saving, you should also add the warnings about <br>this from the mechanize docs (IIRC, that a running Firefox may clobber <br>your changes, and you should back up any cookie files that contain <br>important cookies). I think save_cookies without an argument should
use <br>the filename and file format that were used on the previous load_cookies. <br>Finally, note MSIECookieJar does not support saving, and iteration won't <br>cause loading of cookies unless .delayload is true. The delayload thing <br>can be significant for MSIECookieJar because each cookie is in its own <br>little file (or something similar, I forget), so I suggest having <br>delayload=False until somebody asks for show_cookies, at which point you <br>should call .load_all_cookies() before iterating.<br><br><br>John<br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Take Surveys.
