Re: [Lynx-dev] Re: Are Cookies Working Correctly in Lynx 2.8?

[Owen Leibman]

I am finding the wording of your replies a bit ambiguous. If you are saying 
that 

other browsers behave like Lynx 2.8.8 (which is different than what I expect), 
then you are getting very different results than I:
1. I have tested on Chrome 9 on Windows, and it works as I expected (go 
to changecookie.php, submit the form to change the cookie value, close the 
browser, return to changecookie.php - the changed value is displayed).
2. I do not have an iPhone, so can't confirm one way or another. However, 
Safari 
on Windows works as I expected.
3. The Lynx version which is working as I expected is 2.8.7rel.2 (21 June 2010) 
on Linux. A port of Lynx2.8.5rel.1 on Windows does likewise.
4. Other Windows browsers I have tested are IE7/8/9 and Opera; all work as I 
expected.
5. Other Linux graphical browsers I have tested are Konqueror and Arora; all 
work as I expected.
6. Other Linux text browsers I have tested are elinks and w3m; all work as I 
expected.

I hadn't mentioned it earlier, but I coded the cookie to expire in 1 hour.

iPhone Safari and lynx2.8.7 dev11 do not seem to change the cookie either.
