AWeb - cookies

[mmace]

I'm back on the Amiga scene, for the first time in 17 years.
I have just bought and installed AmigaOS4.1FE, having done some research and testing, I'm going with AWeb as my browser of choice due to "out of memory" issues with OWB.
One issue I'm having, and it's probably obvious, is how do I enable cookies in AWeb?
(an example is opening the basic html GMail page says I do not have cookies enabled so I cannot sign in)

I cannot for the life of me figure this out, I've searched online and cannot find anything either.

Can anyone advise?

Apologies if this is a stupid/simple question, it's been a while since I used AmigaOS and everything's changed.

thanks

Hi, and welcome!  I'd start by breaking this question down into smaller pieces.  Starting with what type of system do you have?  If it's a classic (A1000/2000/3000/4000/etc.) you're not going to be able to run that 4.1FE, unless you have one of the ultra-rare PPC accelerator cards.  I'm assuming you have something like an X1000 however though, based on  the way you've worded this question?

The Amiga web browsers haven't kept up with the rest of the world, so if you're just looking to use an Amiga to surf the web you're probably going to be pretty disappointed.  Assuming you have a "next gen" system capable of running 4.1FE, you're probably better off using something like OWB or Odyssey or NetSurf.  AWeb is ooooold and better suited for classic systems.

I know it's not that good, it's more of me just messing around on it, just wondered if there's a way to sort the cookie issue on AWeb?
OWB runs out of RAM before it even loads the page.

It's OS4.1FE Classic btw, for the A1200/A4000 with PPC

use Ibrowse! It is included in OS 4.1 (extras installer package!) and is much more better than Aweb... also Netsurf from http://www.os4depot.net is worth a try..... need about 20 MB of RAM....

Will use IBrowse, thanks, didn't know it was on there, I bought it about 20 years ago!

Bah, AWeb is far superior :-)

Anyway to enable cookies in AWeb goto the settings menu, open the Network Settng window then choose the Privacy tab.

You should see the lower half that window is cookie related.  

In the chooser choose "Always (quiet)"

You may need to untivk RFC 2019 as that allows more sites to work at the expense of less 100% standard complant cookies.

The latest version is 3.5.11 available on os4depot.net
