When I access bugs.gentoo.org from behind a proxy (I tried two), I need to log in the whole time, it doesn't honour my cookies. When I'm direct, there is no problem.
Actually, there seems to be a problem with my ISPs proxy after all. All of a sudden, I can have enters in my comments, and I don't have to log in. Using my second proxy currently (I only have access to two). But the weird thing is, I don't have problems like this using other sites and my ISPs proxy, as far as I can tell... Any thoughts?
Ok, so, I am now probably behind the transparant proxy of yet another provider, and I have the same problems. So it's not just my provider, it's something else, most probably on bugs.gentoo.org, because bugzilla.mozilla.org doesn't have the same problems.
This is a test. I am currently running on the proxy at my work, and it seems that the newline problem does not occur there. This should be a line all by itself This is a long line. If I were to do this using my proxy from my ISP, this post would be all mashed together. Could it be related with the other cookie problem, something like line ending changing on your side? I don't have these problems with bugzilla.mozilla.org... And I am not the only one.
Here I am using my provider proxy again. As I suspect, this comment will be all on one line, no line endings provided. Now to check another browser than Konqueror. Oh, btw, cookies don't work with this proxy of course, but you already knew that.
This is written using w3m, with my provider proxy. I embed newlines in the comment. This line should be all by itself.
Ok, so the newline problem seems to be only konqueror-related, but it also has to do with the proxy I am using. The cookie problem is purely proxy-related. Please fix :)
It seems I have exactly the same problems. I can't try without a proxy at the moment to prove it but my symptoms are exactly the same: I have to reauthenticate for each page. A post I made with Konqueror didn't wrap. The only other info I can offer is that I have both Konqueror and Galeon set to ask me about cookies and neither does for bug.gentoo.org. They _do_ ask for other sites. I tried to attach to a comment and this failed - possibly because I have to re-authenticate. Please try and sort this asap as it puts me off reporting bugs and I would like to help out. Regards, George.
I think I've found the cause of this for me - apache proxy can't cope with multiple cookies. I've just disabled my proxy to prove it and received cookies which leave me logged in. Not a problem for gentoo so I'm off to apache even though they claim to have fixed this bug... FYI I've updated apache to 1.3.26, because of the security alerts, and see that thay've been trying to fix this problem since 1.3.23 which is what I was running.
It's not related to the documentation team.
