Cookies

[Donald]

Hallo,

this code to read Cookies from FireFox runs without error, but without result. In the console it shows cookies.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

import sqlite3 import os   cookies =  'c:\\users\\xxx\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\xxx.default\\cookies.sqlite'   try:     conn = sqlite3.connect(cookies)     c = conn.cursor()     c.execute("select host, name, value from moz_cookies")                 for row in c:         host = str(row[0])         name = str(row[1])         value = str(row[2])         print (host + ': ' + name + ': ' + value) except Exception as e:     if 'encrypted' in str(e):         print ('encrypted')

Thank you

regards

Don't use catch all except (i.e. using general Exception).
at the moment add else part to the if in the except

1 2 3 4 5

except Exception as e:     if 'encrypted' in str(e):         print ('encrypted')     else:         print(e)

I guess there is some exception that you shadow and don't see it.
EDIT: yes, I get "unable to open database file"

@buran,

thank you, but there was no hidden exception.

I used Python 3 for Windows, of course with the correct UserName and Profile. For "places" I get access to the database.

Hi,

Done the same thing : with result!
Try these field names in the table : moz_cookies
'select host, expiry, creationTime, lastAccessed from moz_cookies'
The date format is epoch-time, and make sure you truncate to 10 positions to get a sensible date.
(At least that is what i found)
