Allow display of cookie change source in console log (suggestion) #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Hello there,

It'd be great if you can also display the address of the page that changed
or added a cookie in the console log. It'll let us easily identify problems
in a web application's cookie management.

Thanks and best regards. Great extension, btw! :)

Hi,
just to make sure I understand the requirement. 

All you see in the Firebug's UI is related to the page where it's opened. So, 
even
the console cookie-log is related to the current page - the page that changed or
added cookies. So, it's obvious where the change comes from.

However, there are two exceptions:
1) If there are iframes on the page the console displays changes also from all 
the
embedded iframes.

2) If there are redirects (e.g. related to logging process) Firecookie 
remembers all
involved pages and displays console-logs for all of them.

Agree, in these cases it would be nice to see, where the change comes from.

Is this what did you have in mind?

Hi Honza,

Yes, that is pretty much what I had in mind. But I also find that cookies can 
also
change via CSS stylesheets, JavaScript includes, and images that load together 
with
the page. Possibly anything that has some sort of back-end processing. Ajax 
requests
may also modify cookies, as far as I know.

Thanks.

Rudy

There is a tooltip with original URL, from which the cookie was sent. Just move 
the
mouse over the domain, which is displayed on the right side of the console log.

Thanks Honza. I just had a look at it. It seems to work fine on some cookies, 
but not
all, e.g. facebook cookies.

I've attached a screenshot showing the tooltip for one facebook cookie.
