I cannot login into the drupal websites I made using dillo browser. I used D5 and D6.
It may be a cookie issue. I observed drupal adds an extra dot in front of hostnames
for creating the cookie domain of my websites, and I do not know any way
to change it.

I also oberved that drupal.org website does not add this extra dot. I do not
understand how this is possible, did they change the php code of drupal?
I was then curious to try it with dillo and I logged in sucessfully to drupal.org
and wrote this note using dillo.

What can I do to be able to login to the websites I made with dillo?

A good and quick way to see the cookie domain for a website is:
w3m -dump_head drupal.org

I just read this page, which asks for feedback for browser compatibility :

There is a new version of dillo since octobre 2008, with much improvement!

I would like to use dillo, because I spend so much time waiting for web pages,
especially on some drupal administration pages (like module selection and
giving acces rights). Well, I agree, that some javascript features are fun and
I would have no access to them with dillo.

The leading dot in the cookie name is here to allow it to work across all subdomains of your hostname. It may prove useful when using the multisite capabilities of Drupal. If this kind of cookie isn't supported by Dillo then it's a bug in Dillo itself. Moreover, nowadays there are tons of lightweight browsers (mostly based on webkit) that are more standards-compliant than Dillo, like Midori.
