           Summary: Safari 3.1 - Locked Cookies.plist completely breaks all
                    cookie use
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: heavyboots2k at yahoo.com


Since Safari has never had a "flush all cookies on exit" option like FireFox
has, I have made do by locking the ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist cookie file
and just not letting them be written to disk. However, as of Safari 3.1,
cookies no longer function at all if the cookies.plist file is locked.

[1] Get Info on ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist and lock the file.
[2] Launch (or relaunch) Safari.
[3] Log into some place like mail.yahoo.com.
[4] Go to some other area of the same site (I use my.yahoo.com).
[5] Go back to mail.yahoo.com. By now, you should have received another login
window.
[6] Get Info on Cookies.plist and unlock the file.
[7] Relaunch Safari, lather rinse repeat except this time you will note that
the site functions as expected.
