Re^2: auto create cookies

You may want to check some of your stated limits. RFC 6265 HTTP State Management Mechanism:

6.1.  Limits

   Practical user agent implementations have limits on the number and
   size of cookies that they can store.  General-use user agents SHOUL
+D
   provide each of the following minimum capabilities:

   o  At least 4096 bytes per cookie (as measured by the sum of the
      length of the cookie's name, value, and attributes).

   o  At least 50 cookies per domain.

   o  At least 3000 cookies total.

   Servers SHOULD use as few and as small cookies as possible to avoid
   reaching these implementation limits and to minimize network
   bandwidth due to the Cookie header being included in every request.

   Servers SHOULD gracefully degrade if the user agent fails to return
   one or more cookies in the Cookie header because the user agent mig
+ht
   evict any cookie at any time on orders from the user.

Oh, you may be right on that. I didn't know the limitations were written down anywhere. I thought it changes from browser to browser. I wrote a test program one time that created a large cookie in order to see how many bytes I can store in a single cookie. Lol I have noticed that each browser had different limits, but I came to the conclusion that you can safely store up to 5KB. (I tested MSIE, Opera, Safari, QupZilla, KMeleon, Chrome, and Firefox.)
