Re: cookies (was: RE: [Mailman-Users] list admin server doesn't alway s respond?)
Does the latest mailman still require on-disk cookies? On my normal web browser I don't allow cookies to be written to disk, but I've got no objections to having session cookies and such. Thanks,
I don't think it ever required "on-disk" cookies (unless there's something that implies that I don't know about) but the latest versions use "session" cookies (i.e. only valid for this browser session) and I believe the expiry time has been removed too.

Actually, I think the expiry time is explicitly set to something that's already past; at least, I recall Barry finding a browser bug in some versions that would ignore an empty expiry date, but do the right thing for expired dates...
