122941 - sites requiring cookies think cookies are disabled (perhaps cookies are not being sent correctly?)

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Wesley Tanaka]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020131
BuildID:    2002013122

I just upgraded to 2002013122 from a nightly build of a day or two before.  As
soon as I went to my.yahoo.com, I was not logged in anymore.  When I tried
logging in, the site (login.yahoo.com) claimed that my browser had cookies
disabled.  I also tried slashdot.org, and after typing in my login and password,
I got back to the "unlogged in" front page.

In preferences, the "Enable all cookies" option is selected.

In "Manage Stored Cookies", there are no items in the "Cookie Sites" tab.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open browser
2. go to slashdot.org
3. log in


Actual Results:  non-logged in front page displays

Expected Results:  logged in front page displays

Marking as blocker because I couldn't file this bug through mozilla...  =)

been seeing something similar on a current cvs, linux, since yesterday:

i add a comment in bugzilla, log in, and when going to another bugzilla page the
"log in" link again displays at bottom of page.  My login is seemingly
forgotten: I have to log in each time i want to add a comment.

In cookie manager there are two cookies seemingly set for login though, expiring
in June sometime. So perhaps the cookies aren't read properly?

confirming with win2k build 20020201..

I get this error with my easy cookie test

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80040154 (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED) [nsIDOMHTMLDocument.cookie]" 
nsresult: "0x80040154 (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)"  location: "JS frame ::
file:///H:/mozillatest/cookie_test.html :: load_cookie :: line 27"  data: no]

I had the problem on yesterday win build.
But I don't see it anymore on a 3-hours old cvs on linux.
And the testcase works fine.

Solaris8, build 2002013122 does show problem.

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

people who do their own opt builds; please delete component.reg before testing
this.

Comment 7

[R.K.Aa.]

oops.. deleting component.reg cured it on linux. WFM.

Comment 8

[Stephen P. Morse]

Good. Does that solve it for all the others who have been observing these 
symptoms?  I'd like to know if I can close this out as wfm.

Comment 9

[Dave Booth]

wfm Solaris.

Comment 10

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

seems to work now (linux). thanks for the tip, bz!

Comment 11

[Stephen P. Morse]

OK, thanks for all the testing.  Marking this as wfm per the last few comments.

fix does not seem to work for windows. Yahoo Groups is the only site I've
noticed this problem with, my.yahoo.com, slashdot.org, and goldtoken.com have
all worked for me. changing from enable cookies only for originating site to
enable all cookies has no effect.

If you are seeing a problem, then please open it as a separate bug report and 
describe the specific symptoms for the specific url.  This bug report talks 
about many different test cases.
