url-cookie-file noise

[Bill Wohler]

In the last few weeks, I've started to see the following message in the
minibuffer at odd intervals:

  Cookies file /home/wohler/.url/cookies (see variable
  `url-cookie-file') is unwritable.

I'm not using this package explicitly. Either it, or the package using
it, should be ensuring that the url environment is set up correctly
without user intervention. In this particular case, I assume that means
creating ~/.url (which does not exist on my system).

The last few entries in the url ChangeLog are as follows. Hmmm, "timer"
sure sounds suspicious...

2005-12-07  Klaus Straubinger  <address@hidden>  (tiny change)

        * url-cookie.el (url-cookie-save-interval): Simplify.
        (url-cookie-setup-save-timer): Simplify.

2005-12-04  Klaus Straubinger  <address@hidden>  (tiny change)

        * url-history.el (url-history-list): Var deleted.

2005-12-01  Klaus Straubinger  <address@hidden>  (tiny change)

        * url-history.el (url-history-track):
        Call url-history-setup-save-timer in :set function.
        :type allows three alternatives.
        (url-history-setup-save-timer): Test url-history-track.
        * url.el (url-retrieve): Test url-history-track.
