This is not really a problem of how gnome-vfs (or later GVFS) is designed. If we had something like a central cookie store we could already do implement that with gnome-vfs. Using the same *connection* would be possible if the browser would use the http method of gnome-vfs for its i/o and I think that is really, really bad idea for various reasons. I totally see the point about re-using cookies but on the other hand if you have the password saved in the session keyring Abiword (if using gnome-vfs) could just ask the keyring and all you need to do is click on the "Allow" button of the keyring. I am not sure its worth the effort to re-use cookies to avoid that one click. ;-) Cheers, Christian P.s.: gnome-vfs' http method doesn't care about cookies at all right now, we just re-send the AUTH header everytime which I guess breaks session handling for some (a lot?) web applications. _______________________________________________ gnome-vfs-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-vfs-list
