Re: [phplib] those strange little cookies From: Arno A. Karner (karner <email protected>)

the problems with cookies, browsers in general is they are not build for
users by uses anymore (mosaic is dead) instead they are built for
advertisers by advertisers, to gain as much marketing info as they can
about the user with total disregard for the user, the users privacy and
security. program around it till the rest of the world wakes up and
smells the coffee.

if you down load source from any major web site ie view source, you will
find out very quickly that most of the front end code does nothing but
determin what browser, what version, do they have cookies disable, java
disabled, java script disabled. I just write internal web apps for this
reason alone. because now we have web phones, xml, .... yada yada yada

It would be nice if phplib had a moudule, lib that would reduce what
ever crap came to vist your site into a list of boolean properties, but
even programing against a list of know propertiers is a nightmare.

with internal web apps, you can say use these browsers, these versions,
with these things turned on it will work.
