Instructions unclear on how cookiefile should be formatted #99

Closed Kuipo closed 5 years ago

Kuipo commented 5 years ago

I am trying to make use of the --cookiefile argument but am not clear about how to format the file. I have created the file by hand, but haven't gotten it correct sadly. The readme doesn't explain how I should format the file. I get the following errors:

2019-11-05 12:36:52.972 PST ERROR archive_email Couldn't access Messages functionality for this group
2019-11-05 12:36:53.259 PST ERROR archive_files Couldn't access Files functionality for this group
etc.

The current format I'm using is (with values removed and replaced by ...):

#LWP-Cookies-2.0
Set-Cookie3: T="..."; path="/"; domain=".yahoo.com"; path_spec; expires="2020-10-29 12:16:35Z"; version=0
Set-Cookie3: Y="..."; path="/"; domain=".yahoo.com"; path_spec; expires="2020-10-29 12:16:35Z"; version=0

You can use the -ct, -cy and -ce parameters with --cookiefile and it will save the cookies to the given file for you. You can then use just the --cookiefile parameter on the next run.

Cheers. That worked for me. I tried to look for something like that but must have missed it.
