instgram cookies cause youtube-dl cookie file to broken #24299
Comments

Malformed cookie file. Cookie value is not allowed to contain spaces. |
|
Used this tool: https://github.com/lennonhill/cookies-txt Now you're telling me that the tool to export a Netscape Compatible cookie file isn't exporting a Netscape cookie file? It seems like shoddy dev work on your team... |
|
As a quick fix, youtube-dl can at least ignore such cookies and don't stop for such errors... @dstftw Please reopen this issue and remove invalid label. |
|
RFC2109 is obsolete. Current RFC 6265 clearly disallows spaces inside cookie values. |

.instagram.com TRUE / TRUE 0 urlgen "{\"45.12.3.45\": 24940}:1jBJ5c:yMVdw1trErKtMZlJkGK3zfvFI4U"causing cookie file to be invalid for next youtube-dl run.
