extra cookie functionality

[Darren B]

Can Actinic add this functionality to the actinicorder.pm file. This functionality allows for greater use of the cookies not just for me but for others that are trying to get extra information

mmmmmm..cookies
(sorry, had to be done )

That shouldn't be too difficult to implement as

1) The code is already written.

2) It only adds a few bytes to the overall size of the cookie jar.

3) It doesn't change any existing functionality as it just extends the number of results available to be returned by the getCookie routine.

I think the size of Tracey's harris will be more of a problem if the cookie jar keeps growing.

Are you saying it's a problem already?

sure sounded that way to me!

More of a problem than adding the functionality I meant, I am unsure on the space occupied by Tracey's posteria as I have never seen it. I can however confirm that if she tucks into cookies on a regular basis, whatever size it might be now, will bear into insignificance to where it gets to.

cookies - who ever came up with that name? (i mean for the internet not the biscuit)

[Mike Hughes]

Apparently it came from the UNIX world of Magic Cookies*. Tokens that associate with users and programs.

Which is a shame really. I'd thought they might be related to cookie crumb trails that let you track the path someone's taken (or lets them retrace their path). Presumably they would need a cookie as the source of the crumbs.

* Not related to Magic Cookie Bars which are entirely different.
