Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When using a Quick Search keyword, cookie information for the relevant domain is
not sent in the headers of the request.  For example, "my" correctly makes a
request for "http://my.yahoo.com", but because no cookie info is sent in the
request, a 302 sends the user to "http://my.yahoo.com/s/guest-promo.php".  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://my.yahoo.com/ and create an account if needed.
2. Enter "my" in the address bar.


Actual Results:  
Browser opens "http://my.yahoo.com/s/guest-promo.php"

Expected Results:  
Browser should have gone to the logged in user's My Yahoo page.

This works for me on Firefox 1.4. Tracing with Live HTTP Headers, I see cookies
being sent to google for the I'm feeling lucky search, then I see cookies being
sent when requesting the result of the search.

I tried with "google", "cnn", "slashdot" and they all sent the cookies correctly.

My bad.  I thought I had a quick search defined for "my" pointing to
my.yahoo.com.  Instead, Google I'm Feeling Lucky was picking up the location and
searching for "my".  The resulting 302 from Google was for my.yahoo.com, but the
302 request did not include the cookie info.  I'm not too familiar with whether
a 302 request should include cookie info, but it seems reasonable that it
doesn't, especially when changing domains.

Please close this bug.
