Subject: clone() and cookie_jar
It would be nice if LWP::UserAgent->clone() did not delete the $self->{cookie_jar} object. Any chance this can be done?

See also: #13541 (in Test-WWW-Mechanize) which is caused by this problem.

But should it share the cookie_jar with the parent user agent or should it get a copy?

Subject: clone() - cookie_jar should be shared
From: mark [...] summersault.com
We got bit by this today through Test::WWW::Mechanize. On Tue Dec 06 08:33:29 2005, GAAS wrote: Show quoted text

It should get a copy because that's what "clone" sounds like it does. If you want the sharing behavior, it begs the question: why clone at all? If there are use-cases for sharing that come up, a share_cookie_jar option can be added. It's also unfortunate that the current behavior of deleting the cookie jar is undocumented, as it's an unintuitive behavior.

Agreed that this should be documented. To that end, we've added https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/commit/981a966588d6395c86e49ee07d6f7aebeceafc88 This should be documented in the next release. Thanks, Chase
