Re: modify non-persistent cookies

[securityarchitect () hush com]

The only difference between the a persistent cookie and non-persistent cookie is the expires element. If there is no 
expires element (time) defined then the cookie is (should be if HTTP User agent follows directives) stored in memory. 
Therefore there is no difference between modifiying persistent or non-persistent cookies.

As others have suggested the usual way is to intercept the HTTP stream before the cookie hits the browser. You could 
look and modify the memory space of the browser although I have never seen any apps that do this.
