From bbe8cc6662ce870b2efee5d2a3fceab39e1a3c2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Fantauzzo Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2020 14:50:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [README.md] Update reference to cookie export extension for Chrome (closes #26885) (#27433) The cookies.txt extension doesn't exist anymore on the Chrome Web Store (see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookiestxt/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg), so I propose to change the link in the README.md to another similar extension called Get cookies.txt (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt/bgaddhkoddajcdgocldbbfleckgcbcid/) with the same functions and utility of the old one.

Make sure you have correct [newline format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline) in the cookies file and convert newlines if necessary to correspond with your OS, namely `CRLF` (`\r\n`) for Windows and `LF` (`\n`) for Unix and Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS, etc.). `HTTP Error 400: Bad Request` when using `--cookies` is a good sign of invalid newline format. -- 2.22.2
