Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in

[Karen Lewellen]

This brings up a different question.
granted I simply create a new cookie on the rare moments when my cookie at 
ao3 goes away, just log in and choose refresh.
However I believe I asked about cloudflare and ffn recently.
I am told on another list that if one secures  a cloudflare generated 
cookie, one can bypass their  captcha barriers.
A couple of you speak of taking cookies from JavaScript environments, and 
incorporating them into lynx
Does this work, even if the cookie came from a JavaScript browser?
I take it you add the cookie to your lynx_cookies file?
