[gentoo-user] lynx - cookies

[Joseph]

Can anybody provide configuration for Lynx to accept cookies.
Under options, I have:
Cookies (!) : [ask user__]

If I go to Google it asks if I want cookies but if I browse to "https" page it does not ask for cookies acceptance.

I assume that by "to accept cookies" you mean "don't ask, just
accept"...

I have following in /etc/lynx.cfg to force-accept cookies, without
asking (looks like these options should be located under the right
header line, not just anywhere in the file):

  ...
  ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:TRUE
  ...
  FORCE_COOKIE_PROMPT:YES
  ...

No, I only want to accept the cookies on case-by-case bases and store the default setting, same as Firefox behaviour.

You should ask this on the lynx-dev mailing-list,
where you are likely to get a very prompt reply from the maintainer.
AFAIK as a long-standing Lynx user, you can do this only per session.
