I can start a web page with command line like that cromium-browser http://some-page.com . How can I start a web page with command line and with hard refresh cache option (equivalent of CTRL-F5 if I tried to manually opened it with cromium)? I think there must be an argument option to do that but I couldn't find it.

I want to find out where are firefox cookies getting stored in Linux. there is a similar old question here which says that the cookies are stored at ~.mozilla/firefox//cookies.sqlite but i think this is not true anymore because i remove this file but i still have cookies in firefox itself. also i tested the entire ~.mozilla/firefox folder with inotifywait using the following command:

$ inotifywait -mr .mozilla/firefox -e open -e access -e modify

and got nothing!. not even an access event occur when i open firefox and search or open any sites.

Each time I go to Stack Exchange I get a "Accept Cookies" choice in the lower left corner. How can I set up my browser (Firefox) to automatically either accept the cookies, or automatically answer the question for me? I have tried Adblock Plus, and I also have uBlock installed. I was able to get the "sign in with google" prompt taken care of across websites using uBlock ||accounts.google.com/gsi/client$3p in the My Filters tab. Is there a solution like this for the cookies prompt in Stack Exchange?

I would like to get access to the Chromium cookies on the command line -- externally to chrome and without the use of any extensions. Where does Chromium store the cookies on disk? Is this possible and how would I go about doing it? I have an external utility that wants to authenticate with a cookie of a session that has already passed authentication. I do not want to have to keep opening up the Chromium Dev tools and finding it to copy-and-paste.

I'm using Brave browser ver 1.56.20 in MX Linux 21.3 (Debian 11 based), how can I remove cookies in Brave? Tried to use remove icon, it does not work, seems it's a known bug in Brave (over a year old and not solved yet), installed BleachBit, did not work either (BleachBit forum is closed for new users), is there any other way to remove cookies installed by third party without your permission? Any other tools?

I got some cookies from my browser where I'm well authenticated into a website. I've tried to give them to wget and make it download some internal pages, but all it downloads is authentication page

wget --load-cookies $path/cookies.txt --show-progress --no-check-certificate -p -v -U '$userAgentString'  https://$url 

How to get the target page and not authentication page?

The aim is to enter different accounts at the same time. With **lynx** this is possible using files for each account with the *-cfg=~/file* argument. **wget** has a *.wgetrc* file that can be configured with: cookies = on load_cookies = ~/cookies.txt save_cookies = ~/cookies.txt But unlike **lynx** you don't have the option to invoke it with settings for multiple profiles, it simply loads when **wget** is started with a single cookie for the same server. I use the script below that should create and maintain cookies without the need to have the *.wgetrc* file, but for some reason that I don't know **is only successful with *.wgetrc*.** #!/bin/bash LOGIN='login=Account&pass=12345678' wget -qO- --save-cookies cookies.txt \ --keep-session-cookies \ --body-data="$LOGIN" \ --method=POST \ http://example.net/?sign_in=1 # after login wget -qO- --load-cookies cookies.txt \ http://example.net/user Based on this information I ask; _Is **wget** capable of logging in from multiple accounts on the same server? If yes, how? ***Lynx** is perfectly capable of doing this, but I didn't want to have to use it.*

There is this webpage I'm trying to scrape but it is behind a login form that needs user/password. I used Firefox debug mode to find HTTP requests. Upon entering the credentials, there is a POST request which return a set-cookie in Response Headers. There is subsequent GET that uses this cookie (instead of user/pass) to finally access the actual page. The cookie has an expiration date. I assume I have to 1- get that cookie via curl POST dumping it in a cookie.txt, 2- then again use curl GET with -b cookie.txt option (**without** needing to pass along user/pass). I want to fetch that set-cookie via curl in command line (step 1). I tried to replicate what Firefox did with Copy as cURL command on POST. It forms the curl request (with user/pass inside a --data-raw switch and a short ASP.NET_SessionId inside a -H 'Cookie: .... Problem is, it does return a header but cookie is not there. The downloaded website (HTML) indicated something went wrong. Now, in forming up the --data-raw, there are fields like __VIEWSTATE, __VIEWSTATEGENERATOR and __EVENTVALIDATION which seem to change on each GET of the login page. I filled them up via a little scrpting. It didn't fix the issue. I'm using the copied curl command from firefox alongside -c cookie.txt -D - -v ...It does not print the cookie in headers or dump the cookie in the file.

Edit: Please don't downvote the post, I meant to click the Super User stackExchange when clicking the bookmark in my browser. Can cookies.txt obtained via 'Get cookies.txt' chrome extension when you're logged in be used to access your account.

I used the command below to download cookie using CURL in bash. How do I use this file (cookies.txt) to access the page? curl -u username --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt https://example.com

I'm trying to login to a website using curl and HTTP requests. With the first http GET request I add -c cookie.txt to the command to save the cookie to a file. For the second curl POST I add -b cookie.txt to pass the same cookie again. Unfortunately I end up with a wrong session error message. When I compare the POST request with Chrome's POST request I see that the cookie has more data than what's in my cookie.txt. When I copy Chrome's POST using "copy as cURL command" I get for the cookie: -H 'Cookie: PHPSESSID=rrh5d7l69tgl8633g3hklea2e0; POPUPCHECK=1140804027760' But my cookie.txt only contains the PHPSESSID. What am I not seeing here? Thank you! **Edit** I added the verbosity flag to the two commands and received this output: curl -v https://my.host.com --cookie-jar cookie.txt GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: my.host.com > User-Agent: curl/7.54.0 > Accept: */* > POST / HTTP/1.1 > Host: my.host.com > User-Agent: curl/7.54.0 > Accept: */* > Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded > Content-Length: 73 > * upload completely sent off: 73 out of 73 bytes < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 09:39:06 GMT < Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) * Added cookie PHPSESSID="lg9h4h8hlk69lrkosn0abpg7n7" for domain my.host.com, path /, expire 0 < Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=lg9h4h8hlk69lrkosn0abpg7n7; path=/ < Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT < Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 < Pragma: no-cache * Replaced cookie PHPSESSID="r33haq0v45r4ofksrmm2ok86c5" for domain my.host.com, path /, expire 0 < Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=r33haq0v45r4ofksrmm2ok86c5; path=/ < Vary: Accept-Encoding < Content-Length: 3792 < Connection: close < Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

From https://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html > Curl's "cookie engine" gets enabled when you use the --cookie option. > **If you only want curl to understand received cookies**, use --cookie > with a file that doesn't exist. Example, if you want to let curl > understand cookies from a page and follow a location (and thus > possibly send back cookies it received), you can invoke it like: > > curl --cookie nada --location http://www.example.com What is the purpose of "use --cookie with a file that doesn't exist"? What does "if you only want curl to understand received cookies" mean? Thanks.

I'd like to understand how to save cookies that the application writes to document.cookie (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/cookie) , as I've noticed that the common methods wget/curl to save to a file does not work for this particular case, it seems. Assuming the web app writes cookies: document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/"; For example, wget --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt "http://foobar/app-generates-cookie.html " or the curl, curl --cookie-jar cookie.txt http://foobar/app-generates-cookie.html Both wget/curl does not work for the app case above.

I am using the Linux command wkhtmltopdf to convert the HTML page to a PDF file for a report, but the page showing the cookie privacy note on the website which doesn't look good. To convert the wkhtmltopdf, seems the --cookies-jar is not a correct command to use. Please suggest any other way? Command used: $ wkhtmltopdf -O Landscape \ http://example.com/app/viewport.html#/overview/tabular/yearly data.pdf

I use debian with gnome, and I often use xdg-open to launch my broswer on differents websites. I know xdg-open is intended to use system's default application for argument's registered purpose, be it open files, URLs, or any preferred application, but is there a way to tell xdg-open to tell my broswer xdg-open 'https://example.com/ ' --cookie=/tmp/my/cookie, or to change the verb used (use POST, and add data to the body of the request) ? (Which would presuppose some unified ways to set cookie or post data crossbroswer, which I doubt but /meh)

I would like to have cookie of a HTTPS site. I do have credential and certificate to access given site. If I access site from chrome/firefox then I can easily extract cookie but what is the way to have this cookie from command line by using curl,wget or similar CUI-based tools ?

I have two web-services 1. https://localhost/svc/auth which I call first with Authorization headers and I get a cookie 2. https://localhost/svc/catalog/1234 which I call by providing the cookie set by the 1st call I am trying to use cURL like this to get the catalog "1234": curl -u Username:Password -s -i -X GET 'http://localhost/svc/auth' -c /tmp/site-cookie.txt curl -b /tmp/site-cookie.txt -s -i -X GET 'http://localhost/svc/article-stock/v1/car/CRH4203052?sid=esi&channel=str&site=0148' But this does not work as it seems the cookie have the path set like this: # Netscape HTTP Cookie File # http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html # This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk. localhost FALSE /svc/auth FALSE 0 MYCOOKIE VXNlcm5hbWU6RU5DKFFva0VSaDdaMXpKTHRYRHJIUzlvaXVuakVpbURHYmsyaDFRUXlvclA4RD0p I know I can ask the web-service developer to change the path in its cookie, but I wanted to know if cURL can ignore such path or not to save it?
