HTMLLoader and clearing cookies

Hi there,
I'm using air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow to pop up a window to a user in an AIR application to ask them to authenticate with a third party service.
I'd like to know where the window opened by the HTMLLoader class accesses the user's cookies. Does it retrieve the user's cookies from their default browser? If so, is there a way to have the HTMLLoader class open a window which does not access the user's cookies from their default browser? Basically, I'd like to be able to have HTMLLoader open a window which has a clean slate of cookies and does not make use of the browser's cookie store.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/html/HTMLLoader.h tml#manageCookies looks like it could be useful for what I'm trying to achieve - has anyone had any luck using this option?

Hi Joe,
I tried setting manageCookies to false, and it definitely gave me a 'clean slate' in that none of the user's cookies are loaded from their default browser.
However, the web page that I'm opening via HTMLLoader is a sign-in form that requires cookies to be set. When I try to authenticate, I get a message back from the sign-in form saying that cookies are required to log into the service. Sounds like I'm kinda caught in a Catch 22. Basically, I need a clean slate each time I open a web page from HTMLLoader ...
Any other ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Sean

  • Safari, maps, utube and app store will not open on my ipad1?  If I go to Settings and Safari and Clear Cookies, then Settings will close abruptly.  How to fix?

    Hi,
    Neither Safari, utube, maps, itunes or app store will open on my ipad1.  I tried to go to Settings, Safari and Clear Cookies - but when I do that Settings will abruptly close.  How to fix.  I tried restore - di not work.
    Thankyou,

    Try downloading any free app and see if that helps to reset the iPad and return your apps to normal. If that doesn't work ...
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. If that doesn't help try this ...
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Firefox will not open now - I just updated my privacy settings, and cleared cookies - what happened?

    I changed the privacy settings on Firefox preferences, including clearing cookies, history and cache, and now Firefox will not open at all. It said it had to restart after one of the privacy changes, but it didn't and now won't open by the dock icon or thru applications. What happened, and how can I correct the issue to start using Firefox again? Thanks.

  • What's the difference between keep cookies until I close firefox and clear cookie history when firefox closes?

    In the settings for Firefox 33.0 (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 but the functionality is the same for Windows 7) there are two different ways to delete cookies when firefox closes. Or at least there seems to be.
    First is the keep cookies until firefox closes
    Second is to check the box to clear history when firefox closes and in the settings check cookies.
    What is the difference between these two options?
    I usually have both setup but I was noticing that a login was not saving for td canada trust easyweb, even though I have an exception set for it. Now I unchecked to delete cookies when clearing the history on close and the login saves correctly.
    This login saves 7 cookes under easyweb.td.com and 10 cookies under td.com and I have exceptions set for both. If I clear history on close and include cookies, half of the td.com cookies are gone when I close firefox and re-open. The same is true if I don't set the exception.
    So currently I cannot figure out a way to keep all the cookies if I clear cookie history when firefox closes. What is the difference when this is enabled?

    Let all cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"
    Create a cookie 'allow' exception for cookies that you would like to keep.
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
    Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and my "Hide Unvisited" add-on longer works. is there a compatable replacement? This hides pages that have been bookmarked from appearing in the Awesome Bar since deleting or clearing cookies. Please help.

    I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and my "Hide Unvisited" add-on no longer works. is there a compatible replacement? This hides pages that have been bookmarked from appearing in the Awesome Bar since deleting or clearing cookies. I was hoping maybe there was an option for this in Firefox itself but I don't see one. Please help.

  • Bbc homepage not loading, even though I cleared cookis and cache. Any advice on how to sort this problem?

  • I received a phishing email supposedly from my bank and clicked on url - didn't enter any data though.Bank says to get ipad checked for viruses,but I understood ipad has built in security.I've cleared cookies in safari via settings.  Anything else to do?

    I know this has been solved as you reported, but I think you need to check with your e-mail provider. Did you also get this same e-mail on your computer? If you use the same ID for e-mail on computer and ipad, it should have appeared on both. It's very common spam. Check your computer to see if on it, the e-mail is in spam, or, if you deleted it on your ipad, check your recently deleted e-mails.
    You might want to consider changing your password, though people sending spam, don't need it. My e-mail provider had me change my password, not because I was getting spam, but unknown to me, I was sending it!  (You'll still get some spam, though.) It's when you learn that you're unknowingly sending spam...that you must change your password.
    Hope this helps.
    (Ss I was sending this, I just got an e-mail notification from the Nigerian... it got to my e-mail instead of going to spam.)

  • I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. how do I clear history and keep cookies?

    I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear  history and keep cookies?

    I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know. You can leave them feedback at the following url. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
