Hi,

Apologies if this arrives twice. Twisted knickers syndrome.

Anyone know how to clear cookies in the Iris browser? I've had a search
around the menus but it's not immediately obvious to me.

There is a cookies/txt file in !Boot.Choices.WWW.Iris

I just closed Iris, deleted the file and restarted Iris. Iris created a
new one without complaint, but when I opened the cookie file I noticed it
contained the following:-

"# HTTP Cookie File
# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.
# To delete cookies, use the Cookie Manager."

I couldn't find a cookie manager

There is as yet no menu option for Cookies.

But they are stored at: !Boot.Choices.WWW.Iris.cookies/txt

Its just a plain text file.

Ah! Dire warnings. To ignore or not to ignore. That is the question.

Well mine does not have that heading. Just copy it and rename it. and then
create and empty cookies/txt file. Ensure iris is not running when you do
it.

Just out of interest, are you using Iris 1.016 (uploaded 15 October)?

No. 1.010 (4-April-2021). I bought it from the !Store so I'm not on the
early adopters regime.

I just looked on the !Store and OBrowser/ Iris Beta says version 1.03 but
has the same date as mine.

Have the log in credentials changed? Just tried to log in using Netsurf as
Otter would not run and Iris would not take the whole password, I got
"The credentials for the site www.riscosdev.com and realm "Private access
only." were rejected"

You need to be using Iris - Netsurf has never been able to login to
the upgrade pages.

Just managed to log in via windows and it still only shows a version dated
April 2021. I did not down load it to see if it was miss labelled and
really an October version.

Which group of users are you in (the url may vary)? The latest
version is probably only for the select few early testers.

As I said Iris would not accept the whole password, it reverted to a blank
form after after a couple of characters. I got in via windows, and I
eventually got in with Netsurf, it went in as I deleted the password, all
very odd.

Anyway it is still the April version that is available. I gather from
Andrew that the October release is a version out with the ROD shareholders
with a view to it going on general release before the London Show at the
end of the month.

I have ascertained it is for ROD shareholders only at present. General
release towards the end of the month.

I just edit cookies/txt and delete all the text. I haven't had any
problems doing it when Iris is running (but not during a session with a
site that might depend on cookies). It would be easy enough to write an
obey file to delete cookies/txt and copy a null file into its place. Iris
does not appear to write back the cookies file when it quits.

Thats basically what I have done in the past, but for the other person I
was suggested a belt and braces safety net.
