RE: Reguest: Cookie - Set-Cookie Exact Match -
Inmimente;

You're correct, I missed the fact that nowshining didn't use a URL match. Sad

This would be the standard minimum URL match string, there are others that are allegedly more stringent:

[^/]++yahoo.com/

But you really do want to hit all of Yahoo's cookies, and not restrict yourself to those that lay out the parameters in a just one certain order. The reason is, Yahoo has more than one evil dwarfalleged developer on their staff, and those guys don't all do the same thing the same way. In other words, the parameter layout might be in almost any order, because the server will parse it correctly anyway.

To put it another way, better to over-generalize (on this one website) and see if something breaks, instead of being too narrow, and not getting the desired results. But of course, YMMV! Cool

HTH
