< Firefox | Projects | AccountManager | Meetup
- For sites that are able to change every page
- Account-Status header works great
- Perhaps a JS API could be provided, e.g., navigator.account.status = "active";
- For sites using sessionstatus endpoint
- Need to make sure cookies are sent
- Need to send a referring URI of the current page for non-cookie sites
- Optimizations for sessionstatus endpoint refreshing
- Make sure cache headers are respected
- Allow a description of cookie names to watch for changes; changes in the value of watched cookies should refresh sessionstatus
- Allow a description of url formats to trigger a sessionstatus refresh
- Expression for parameter/path changing, e.g., ...?sessionid
- Site endpoints that refresh when accessed, e.g., .../logout.php
- Sessionstatus response should be an object/array allowing for multiple users with one default (perhaps to allow switching between multiple active accounts)
- Sessionstatus could be JSON instead of ";" separated
