Aniscartujo Web Proxy - Cookie Problems?
If you are accessing too many pages trough the proxy at some point (if you dont clean older cookies) you will start having cookie problems… (old cookies get erased or overrited)
Why? because all the cookies are stored as they come from only one domain (the proxy domain), and all the browsers sets a cookie limit per domain.
Current Browser Limits
Firefox 1.5: 50
Firefox 2.0: 50
Opera 9: 30
Internet Explorer 6: 20
Internet Explorer 7: 20
So my recomendation is use FireFox because it allows a bigger number of cookies per domain… and also you can change this limit editing the FireFox configuration.
How can i edit the firefox configuration?
Easy… just type in the firefox url bar, “about:config”
You will get all the firefox options… and to maximize the number of cookies just add this value as integer “network.cookie.maxPerHost” and set it to “500″… so now your cookie problem is fixed
