Clean some Safari cookies via a Perl script
Authored by: delux on Feb 10, '09 12:19:48PM
Thanks for the script. A couple of things concern me:
  1. It assumes Apple will forever use PropertyList-1.0.dtd, never upgrading to 2.0 etc. The script forces version 1.0. Further, if the dtd is ever updated to allow deeper nesting than just the single, "dict" inside, "array" the script will hose your cookies list.
  2. A cookie from "nefariousSite.ru" with the comment, "We're not apple.com" would pass the test as you're not parsing the XML and looking only for domain string.
  3. SafariPlus plug in does this very well (http://web.mac.com/jrc/SafariPlus/)
Before I found out about SafariPlus, I was considering writing something similar and putting it in cron.
