Remove `Cookie:` header on redirect #409

Open gamer191 opened 1 year ago

gamer191 commented 1 year ago

The Cookie: header isn't removed on redirect. This can be verified using axel https://tinyurl.com/jhgfsdfgbh -H "Cookie: hi" (please don't abuse this link)

I would like to propose removing the Cookie: header on redirect, or, alternatively, adding an argument to automatically remove headers on redirect

@rarjun7777 you're more than welcome. Do you need some guidance?

rarjun7777 commented 1 year ago

I want to install the package . How do i work on configure file ?

ismaell commented 1 year ago

I'm not understanding the question. If you mean to change some feature test, you need to edit the configure.ac file. Read the autoconf manual.

You shouldn't need to edit the buildsystem though.
