Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in

[Karen Lewellen]

I agree with this perspective.
Speaking personally, this is exactly  why I can still reach the basic view 
of my gmail account here at shellworld.
and why I lost access to my secondary one previously   associated with 
my second shellworld account setup.
The google account related cookies in my lynx_cookies file tell gmail who 
I am and remember each time I choose my gmail bookmark from my file of 
bookmarks.
These cookies are renewed from time to time, but they still work.
When google started changing things, i failed to keep the stay signed in 
box for my research gmail account checked...and can no longer reach that 
account via gmail's web reader.
Granted there is a small chance the site in question cannot reach their 
cookie due to too many cookie file entries, so that may be  an avenue to 
investigate.
Oh I thought of another, my archiveofourown account is tied to my cookie 
in my lynx_cookies file.  I am presented with my account information as a 
result, without having to log in again,  based on that cookie.
If all that makes sense.
