"Cleaning Secure flag from …"?!

Post by dhouwn »

Huh? Automatic Secure Cookies Management not only sets the secure flag where deemed necessary but also unsets it?

Code: Select all

Cleaning Secure flag from SID=…; domain=.google.com; path=/; Secure
Why would it do that? To workaround possible compatibility problems?

/edit: OK, thanks.

Exactly (only secure flags set by NoScript are cleaned up when deemed necessary, i.e. if a site implements secure cookies correctly, it cannot get "downgraded" by NoScript).
