Subject: Two url.el issues
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:20:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k43zd88u.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
There are two url.el issues that I think should be resolved before Emacs
24 is released.
1) `url-retrieve' and friends cache everything they download, but
nothing is expired, so ~/.emacs.d/url/cache grows huge. I think the
least intrusive way to fix this would be to have (say) every
(zerop (mod (incf url-counter-thing) 1000)) times the functions are
called do an expiry run. Does this sound reasonable?
2) url stores and serves cookies by default, and that's a privacy
intrusion, especially when used by shr.el, which is a news-ish mail-ish
context. But url.el has no easy way to disable cookies on a per-call
basis. At this point there are three options: 1) Leave it as is. 2)
Disable cookies globally. 3) I can hack up some pretty invasive stuff
to allow per-connection cookie settings. Opinions?
