Subject: ~/.w3m/cookie: wasted trailing blanks

Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 03:54:55 +0800

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-4
Severity: wishlist

One notes the cookie file has wasteful trailing blanks.
$  cat -e ~/.w3m/cookie
shows them.

I would put a comment at top of that file explaining what the fields
are, and mentioning ^K.

P.S., in man page etc., saying e.g.,
       -cookie
              use cookie.

       -no-cookie
              don't use cookie
doesn't show which is the default.

Also one must use LC_ALL=C, or else ^K to show the cookies shows the
date in the wrong charset!

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.3-8
Followup-For: Bug #352110

Hello,

a new manpage has been prepared. When working on it, we doubted
whether an annotation about the default behaviour would make
sense. Because with none of these two options in the command line, the
values for boolean variables

  accept_cookie
  use_cookie

in the file .w3m/config or /etc/w3m/config control the behaviour of
w3m.

-cookie corresponds to
  accept_cookie 1
  use_cookie 1

-no-cookie corresonponds to
  accept_cookie 0
  use_cookie 0

Regards
Markus
