Ready the article about the COOKIE.TXT file that Netscape creates. Apparently my copy has yet to modify it since it was installed... so much for 'hacking' it (I decided to try and leave it write-protected for now).

I'm curious if anyone knows which sites use/modify it.

Sites that use the Netscape Merchant system for online malls use cookies for keeping track of your "shopping basket". I don't think they use persistent cookies, so they will never get written to the file on disk. Such sites include the netscape online store (merchant.netscape.com) and the MCI mall at www.internetmci.com.

Also wondering why Netscape seems to touch/modify the certification key files every time it runs.

It is an artifact of the database library that we are using. The certificates and keys are not actually being written each time. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
