I am wondering whether someone has already implemented a cookie implementation for libwww of whether someone is interested in helping doing this? The way I think it should be done is to register a before and an after filter which are linked together with some sort of a database. Whenever a request is generated, the before filter is called "on the way out". The filter will check the URI against its database and see whether it has a cookie for that location. If so, then it is inserted - it not, nothing is changed. When we receive a response, the after filter is called "on the way in". If a cookie is present then it is stored in the database. This is exactly the same mechanism which the authentication schemes are using. Authentication uses a simple URI tree to store the information but this is not persistent and may not be efficient enough but then again, it may if made persistent. Anyone would like to take this on so that we can get it into the code base? Henrik -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk
