289610 - Log in page access is denied for gmail in v. 0.83, but works for v. 0v82

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Sanford]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041201 Camino/0.8.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041201 Camino/0.8.2

At the page
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fgmail.google.com%2Fgmail%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&hl=en
 version 0.83 consistently returns an error message from the server that access
is  denied – doesn't say why.  But with v. 0.82 of Camino, the same URL loads
every time, no problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Camino v 0.83
2.Go to:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fgmail.google.com%2Fgmail%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&hl=en

3. Get rejection message from server.

Actual Results:  
 Nothing happens. If I want access to the webmail, I quit Camino 0.83 and use
0.82 or another browser.

Expected Results:  
Load the log in page.

 No crash. Just the refusal of the server to recognize the browser?

I'm fairly certain this is a dupe, but a workaround (at least until Google
recognises the new user-agent string) is to use Camino 0.82's user-agent string.
You can find instructions for how to change it here:

 Tx. Looks like Google's watch. 0.83 works now.
