in javascript i use a xmlhttpRequest with finalurl to follow masked url trough multiples crappy redirection and return the true url (and open it directly)

does it prevent middle servers to create their cookies ? does it make sense ?

i read many things before posting, but this far away from my understanding

xmlhttprequest and set-cookie & cookie

only if you set xhr.withCredentials = true; Please correct me, if I'am wrong

Edit: And if cookies are set by the browser, if doesn't matter. You have only more cookies in your browser, but they should do nothing, because cookies are only datas, that a browser stores in their cookie storage. And a site can only access its own cookies

  • if nothing is set, it's false by default ? – yoshiki Aug 20 '16 at 13:53
  • in my test it create half less cookie (!) – yoshiki Aug 20 '16 at 14:26
  • Then add `xhr.withCredentials = false;` under the open method!
    I've tested the result from withCredentials with `alert(xhr.withCredentials)` The result was false on mozilla firefox for linux     –  Aug 20 '16 at 15:03
