I bought a Nintendo DS Browser (Opera 8.5) recently, and it's really slick
little device. However, it has one glaring issue: it won't store passwords
or cookies across boots so you have to manually log in to every web site
each time you turn it on. So, this makes me wonder if there's any kind of
web proxy I could install on my FreeBSD server that would cache and re-send
cookies.
Basically, the idea is that the proxy would have it's own local cookie
storage and would re-send any for a domain that the browser itself isn't
sending. For example, if "sess_id=12345" is set for .example.com, and the
browser requests
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Cookie: foo=bar
then the proxy would change that to:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Cookie: foo=bar; sess_id=12345
As a given, it'd also have to support some kind of authentication so that a
given user only gets their own cookies.
Does such a thing exist? Please help me. I'm getting hand cramps from
pecking out the same logins every time I turn the thing on.
