Login problems in the bug database
Hi,
When I am logged in in the bug database, I must continually renew my
login. I use Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and Mozilla 1.4 on Linux. Cookies
are enabled. I have a cookie from nagoya, called BUGLIST.
When I use IE on Windows98 all goes well.
What do I do wrong? Is there a more specific email address for
questions about bugzilla?
Regards, Simon

I just tried it and it works for me (Mozilla 1.5/Linux)
But I remember having problems in the past ...

General bugzilla stuff probably at http://www.bugzilla.org/
Bugzilla at ASF .. hmm .. infrastructure@ is committer only.
There's a BugZilla component for reporting bugs about the Bugzilla
installation at ASF.

For completeness, I report herewith the resolution of the login
problem on bugzilla. It turns out to be caused by the proxy program I
use, wwwoffle version 2.7. When I tell Mozilla not to use the proxy
for a bugzilla site, the problem goes away.
See Mozilla bug report 227506,
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227506.

I should have also mentioned that there are some easier tools in
Marty Hall's book: "Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages".
The EchoServer example should be useful for this type of problem.
Hmmm... I wonder if the Prime Minister of Canada: Jean
(Don't-the-door-hit-ya-on-the-ass) Chretien still sets
a Cookie on the page that states that he doesn't use Cookies on
his web site.
1) Load http://www.pm.gc.ca/
2) start Ethereal and turn on 'capture'
3) click on 'Important Notices'
4) stop capture and look at the HTTP page headers

A good tool indeed, which provides an interesting insight in network
traffic.
For debugging of login and cookie problems its information is a bit
overwhelming. Mozilla has the possibility to write a cookie log. This
provided the required insight. The problem is due to combined Bugzilla
and Mozilla errors.
This is the interesting part:
1024[8057408]: ===== COOKIE NOT ACCEPTED =====
1024[8057408]: request URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/query.cgi
1024[8057408]: cookie string: Bugzilla_login=spepping@leverkruid.nl ; path=/; expires=Sun, 30-Jun-2029 00:00:00 GMT,Bugzilla_logincookie=50462 ; path=/; expires=Sun, 30-Jun-2029 00:00:00 GMT,Bugzilla_password= ; path=/; expires=Sun, 30-Jun-80 00:00:00 GMT,BUGLIST=

1024[8057408]: rejected because cookie has already expired
Indeed, the third cookie string is dated in the year 80. (Bugzilla's error)
This is Ethereal's log of the same interaction (POST of login data and
reply with cookies):

On Windos Mozilla shows this cookie log:

This is the correct behaviour. There are three cookies, and only one
is rejected. It turns out that Bugzilla never requires the rejected
cookie. The above is therefore also Mozilla's error in some versions.
This problem was reported in Mozilla's bug database as bug report
193951, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193951. It was
solved by newer versions. I am going to upgrade now, and hope that it
is true.
Note that Mozdev has a project livehttpheaders,
http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/, which should enable one to make
headers visible in the browser. Seems it could be an ideal tool for
this kind of situations.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Simon

It's a pain of a problem to solve, but 'Ethereal' from
'ethereal.com' should be able to track the session down
for you. It will show you all of the HTTP PDU's and timings.
Good graphical interface.
