Howdy Folks,

Current Strategy:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SimpleAttach

As part of the simplification process we (WCG and I) would like to propose the 
idea of cookieless installs.

See:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SimpleAttach#CookielessInstalls

Pros:

We would be able to get around the various issues with cookies such as:
* Browser implementations changing over time.
* Sqlite changing over time
* Unknown browsers

Cons:

Realistically we are limited to filenames that are 256 characters in size.

Note: By default various shells on Windows limit the file namespace to 256 
characters, the limits can by bypassed by prefixing the filename with \\.\ but 
most users do not know that.  I also suspect that most browsers will complain 
about malware or something of that nature is we attempt to go past 256 
characters.
