Postby gyves » Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:46 pm

I would like put some special information while FDM download a new link (event)
like setup cookie info, it's possible or not with this current version


Cookies=xyzwebsite_sess_id=dsfgh;xyzwebsite_user_theme=GDN-Defaut;xyzwebsite_captcha=1;popup_dons=false

User-Agent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SV1; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; InfoPath.2; Media Center PC 5.0; SLCC1; Tablet PC 2.0; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C; FDM)

I agree. Besides user agent and referer, it should allow us to customize other strings like Cookie.

Cookies and User-Agent are two different things.
User-Agent is persistent for the browser and you can set specific User-Agent for FDM to pretend it is a browser.
Cookies can be set and changed for every single web page, so there is no sense to set cookies in FDM even in Site Manager. The only thing you can set in FDM for cookies is to choose whether to use them or not. It means - FDM can read cookies from the browser, but you must also allow cookies in the browser settings.

yup being able to specify custom referer urls would be a very useful feature since some websites stupidly require that for a download

Usually FDM catches Referer from the browser. When you add link directly in FDM, it generates Referer based on download URL. Referer was never saved in Site Manager in FDM 3.x, though it might be saved in FDM logs (depending on logging settings).

FDM in version 5.x/6.x doesn't have Site Manager so it doesn't support any site-speciific user-defined settings. Whatever you want to pass (credentials, referer, etc.), you should do it in your browser.
