Loading that url gives me a message somewhat to the effect that my session has
expired (my understanding of German is pretty poor, but that's what it seems to
say).

How do I do step 2, exactly?  Where is the link I should be clicking for step 2b?

Comment 4

[Helmut Schellong]

www.t-online.de --> Support --> Homepage [1)]:
Link "Login" (white on red rectangle) upper right - Click.
(HomepageCenter)
But, I am T-online customer, auth. with Radius-Protocol.
It is possible that the Link is invisible for non customers.

The link [2)] "Login" opens a new window.
The URL line shows 2b), only for ~1 second.
Then the URL line changes to 3) and the
endless loop begins.

Clicking the login link worksforme with a 1.5b build on Win98.  What are your
cookie settings?  Is this bug FreeBSD-only?

Comment 7

[Helmut Schellong]

With mozilla v1.4 the same behaviour.
Cookies: only from orig. web site
         disable Mail and Newsgr.
Changing the cookie settings does not alter the behaviour.
mozilla 1.5a I had installed on FreeBSD only.
(1.5b.tgz is not available)
(Now 1.4 again because an other Bug in 1.5a)
