Correct. The /tmp/gnash-cookies* are standard HTTP cookies, which are required to make many sites work, including YouTube. SharedObjects are often called Flash Cookies, and a potential privacy issue. Gnash has a utility called soldumper that'll dump all the SharedObject data to the terminal so you can see what's being stored. > IIRC they contain essential info to make yt working.

YouTube needs the HTTP cookies, so it can get the redirect to a geographically closer server. It should work without the SharedObjects, if not, it's a bug. Here's what's in the three SharedObjects used by YouTube: Dumping SOL file The file name is: ./videostats.sol The size of the file is: 199 The name of the object is: videostats perf: Dumping SOL file The file name is: ./soundData.sol The size of the file is: 49 The name of the object is: soundData volume: 1.01501e-319 Dumping SOL file The file name is: ./hdTooltipClue2.sol The size of the file is: 53 The name of the object is: hdTooltipClue2 count: 4.33197e-320 There's a little more info on SharedObjects on our web site: http://www.gnashdev.org/?q=node/62 - rob - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
