Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] Implementing HTTPCookieStorage

In my opinion, cookies should go into $XDG_DATA_HOME

But, there was an opinion sometime back, that cookies could go into a `.config` directory. So, I am wondering if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is also a candidate here :-)

Hello 

@Tony:
Thanks for sharing. I would like to build upon it from here.

@all
I need guidance on which XDG environment directory path the cookie storage would fit in?
Would XDG_CONFIG_HOME be a best fit for the cookies?  
Request your inputs to put me in the right direction. 

Thanks!

Here is the branch where I started the work but didn’t get too far.


One tricky part is that we need to figure out a way to test this stuff without exposing public API from file manager…

Hi Tony, 

Thanks! A starting point will really help. 

I've filed a feature request on JIRA: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-3697

Yup, I think that makes sense.

I started an implementation a bit ago but didn’t get very far before I got derailed onto some other topics. I’ll see if I can clean it up and put it somewhere as a starting point.

Hi Tony, Will, others: 

Apologies for bringing this up after a long time!

I hope we still agree on the use of the "XDG Base Directory Specification". I did a quick read of the spec document. 

I am happy to file a JIRA report for this.

The scope, as I understand it is: CoreFoundation will implement the "XDG Base Directory Specification" and present an API to allow Foundation to retrieve the different absolute paths(related to the different env variables defined), which will be used to persist the different kinds of user data.

Please do let me know if my understanding is correct. Please augment it if necessary. 

Thanks!

I’m just reading this spec for the first time, but it looks like it accounts for that:

> • There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific non-essential (cached) data should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

Overall the spec looks reasonable and seems to be close to what we we would need.

A great next step would be to file a JIRA and look for volunteers who want to help implement this in SCL-Foundation.
