<div dir="ltr"><div>Well if we simply ignore the "private session" cookies in the cookie management dialog, then the problem becomes much easier. One will only have to add the concept of "private" cookies to the cookiejar and make sure cookies marked as such are always treated as session cookies and only available to windows that claim to be "private". That is not a difficult thing to accomplish. I have to see how the other browsers handle that situation.<br>
<br></div>BTW, there is a very big limitation to using QNAM and QNetworkCookieJar to implement "private" browsing mode. Your "private" session is limited to one single window. If you launch a second window in "private" mode, then it will not be able to share the private cookies with the other private window. Dunno if that is a desired behavior for you but I think chrome allows that by default. I dunno what Firefox does, but I am sure its behavior is probably similar.<br>
<br>Anyhow, I am will try to find some time to add "private" browsing mode support for kcookiejar during the upcoming holidays. Otherwise, I will outline how to do it and someone else can take a crack at it.<br>

About your difficulties, I can just say that, IMHO, "private session" cookies have to be completely ignored even from the cookie dialog. They cannot be stored on disk. And they have to disappear from memory as soon as the private session ends.</div>
<div>That's because the "empty cookiejar problem" looks similar. And using Qt network classes seems easier.</div><div>On QNAM you can create a QNetworkCookieJar on the fly, use and delete it when your session finishes. With KIO you cannot do this as we have just ONE cookiejar kde-wise. So the approach has to be:</div>
<div>- you cannot no more store cookies (dawit just implemented this, I think)</div><div>- you cannot no more use old cookies stored (my first attempt here failed)</div><div>- you have to manage your session "session cookies" (that is, use in your private session and delete them when it (and NOT kde session) finishes).</div>

<div dir="ltr">Well that is not entirely correct. We can definitely implement support for private mode in the cookiejar itself easily. There are a couple of approaches we can take. The difficult part has always been how to handle the "private session" cookies in the cookie management dialogs. Anyhow, I promised to try and implement this for 4.10, but I could not find the time. Perhaps I will find some time during the upcoming holidays.<div>

<br>
</div>Are you working on patches to make it "malleable" enough in the future?<br>
<br>
If you need something, make it happen, don't just hope for others to do so :)<br>
