I've updated the cookie-sharing page at:
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/6354/cookies.html
Please share your cookies!
I'm having a bit of a problem with the cookie from Firefly.com and other
sites that use their passport software (parts of barnes&noble, quitnet.org,
mylaunch.com, filmfinder.com, etc).
After a log in (as cypherpunks:cypherpunks, naturally), the server sends a
FIREFLYTICKETV3 cookie which appears to contain the username and
a timestamp. After about 24 hours the cookie expires and one has to log
in again. If someone can set the expiration date far in the future,
I'll add the cookie to the shared cookie list; otherwise they're useless.
Here's a sequence of "firefly ticket" cookies over a few days:
FIREFLYTICKETV3=WWKKILVVLLXVbVHKOHSNMH_\SVIHHHEGIIWRWUFIJI
WWKKILVVLLXVbVHKOHSNMH_\SVGHJHLGMISRUUNIGI
WWKKILVVLLXVbVHKOHTNFHa\WVHHGHKGFISRYUOILI
WWKKILVVLLXVbVHKOHTNFHa\WVHHHHEGOIVR[UKIII

WWKKILVVLLXVbVHKOHTNFHa\XVEHLHJGKIXRRUNIHI
WWKKILVVLLXVbVHKOHTNFHa\XVEHLHKGJIVRUUKIMI
^^^^^^ **********
The expiration is triggered by the piece I marked ^^^. Munging the end
of the cookie (marked ***) doesn't seem to invalidate the cookie.
