3.8 Dealing with URL

Here are some ways to interact with the URL library.

Set ‘url-show-status’ to t to show URL’s progress messages in the minibuffer.

‘M-x url-cookie-list RET’ opens a buffer in a new window with a list of all your cookies saved by URL. You can delete the cookie on a line by typing ‘C-k’ or ‘<delete>’.

Type ‘M-x wwe-clear-url-history RET’ to empty your URL history. Use ‘M-x wwe-remove-link-url-from-history RET’ to remove just one URL, the link URL at point, from the URL history.

If URL starts downloading something - often binary files - that you can see is too large or it just goes on and on (you can see this with ‘url-show-status’ messages enabled) you can use ‘M-x list-processes RET’ and find and kill the process buffer.
