ARC Cookie Exchange: A Chrome Extension for Advanced REST Client Session Management
ARC Cookie Exchange is a free Chrome extension developed by Pawel Psztyc. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This small extension aims to support Advanced REST Client session management by reading Chrome cookies.
The main purpose of ARC Cookie Exchange is to read cookies stored by Chrome and send them to the Advanced REST Client application. This ensures that your cookies are included with the request if the request domain matches the cookie domain.
To function properly, ARC Cookie Exchange requires the following permissions: access to cookies in order to read them, and access to all websites so that the extension can read cookies from any domain.
In terms of safety, the extension only accepts connections from whitelisted apps, including canary, dev, beta, and stable versions of the app. This ensures that no unauthorized app can connect to the extension and access your cookies.
Recent changes to ARC Cookie Exchange include the addition of a proxy for XHR requests and the extension now notifies ARC when it is installed.
