+# extract_cookies.sh:
+#
+# Convert from Firefox's cookies.sqlite format to Netscape cookies,
+# which can then be used by wget and curl. (Why don't wget and curl
+# just use libsqlite if it's installed? Mysteries abound.)
+#
+# Note: This script reads directly from the standard cookie jar file,
+# which means cookies which are kept only in memory ("session cookies")
+# will not be extracted. You will need an extension to do that.
+
+# USAGE:
+#
+# $ extract_cookies.sh > /tmp/cookies.txt
+# or
+# $ extract_cookies.sh ~/.mozilla/firefox/*default*/cookies.sqlite > /tmp/cookies.txt
+
+# USING WITH WGET:
+# $ wget --load-cookies=/tmp/cookies.txt http://example.com
+
+# USING WITH CURL:
+# $ curl --cookie /tmp/cookies.txt http://example.com
+
+# Note: If you do not specify an SQLite filename, this script will
+# intelligently find it for you.
+#
+# A) Usually it will check all profiles under ~/.mozilla/firefox/ and
+# use the cookies.sqlite that was updated most recently.
+#
+# B) If you've redirected stdin (with < or |) , then that will be used.
+
+# HISTORY: I believe this is circa 2010 from:
+# http://slacy.com/blog/2010/02/using-cookies-sqlite-in-wget-or-curl/
+# However, that site is down now.
+
+# Cleaned up by Hackerb9 (2017) to be more robust and require less typing.
