Incoming Cookies Monitor

Purpose

Incoming Cookies Monitor shows cookies received by the peer.

Use it to inspect what browsers or clients send before diagnosing session or privacy behavior.

What You Can Do Here

  • Incoming Cookies Monitor shows cookies received by the peer.
  • Test a concrete URL, request, user, or pattern before applying broad policy.
  • Keep rules narrow enough that they block the intended problem without hiding useful content.

Page Architecture

Security and blacklist pages turn names, patterns, credentials, or request properties into allow/block decisions. The architecture is rule-oriented: define the rule, test the rule, then apply it to crawling, search, or access.

Control Meaning Values or examples
enableCookieMonitoring Enables the named feature. Enable Cookie Monitoring
disableCookieMonitoring Disables the named feature. Disable Cookie Monitoring

Correct Use

Test with a concrete example. A blacklist, regular expression, rate limit, cookie rule, or access rule is only understandable when checked against a real URL or request. Prefer narrow patterns and document the reason for broad rules.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /CookieMonitorIncoming_p.html.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/CookieMonitorIncoming_p.java.

Endpoint Method Access Backend
/CookieMonitorIncoming_p.html POST admin source/net/yacy/htroot/CookieMonitorIncoming_p.java

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.

Parameter Meaning and valid values Care
enableCookieMonitoring Enables the named feature. Changes stored data, configuration, or a running job. Use the authenticated action flow where required and verify the result.
disableCookieMonitoring Disables the named feature. Changes stored data, configuration, or a running job. Use the authenticated action flow where required and verify the result.

Example request shape:

POST /CookieMonitorIncoming_p.html
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

enableCookieMonitoring=...&disableCookieMonitoring=...

What To Expect

Expect a rule list, match test, access record, cookie view, or confirmation. The real proof is behavioral: the same URL, request, or user should now be accepted, blocked, limited, or displayed as intended.

  • Related security work is usually reached through blacklist administration, blacklist testing, cookie monitors, robots data, or access-rate settings.
