31628 - Custom metacrawler settings not being saved as default

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 29610

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[beryan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; NT; en-US) Mozilla/m13
BuildID:    2000022820

I think it's a cookie problem.
In metacrawler you can set default search preferences like timeout,
interface complexity etc. When I set them in moz then go back to MC home, it
comes up with the site defaults like I never saved them!
I had this problem in M13 too, in M13 in the black debug window it said some
funky stuff which I can't remember, when I tried to set these same options.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.metacrawler.com	
2.hit "customize", set some custom settings like powersearch, then hit save settings
3.go to metacrawler.com, the same page is displayed - ignoring the customizations.


Actual Results:  the same page is displayed - ignoring the customizations.

Expected Results:  Should have come preselected with the options you chose in
Customize

Confirmed on Linux build 2000.03.10.13.  Might also be a form submission
problem, cc rods.

The cookie module is behaving properly -- the problem is that the site is not 
sending back the correct set-cookie header.  So it's a networking problem and 
I'm reassigning.

Below is the sniffer output for a 4.x run (in which things worked correctly) and 
a seamonkey run in which they didn't.  Notice that in the 4.x traffic the 
set-cookie header specifies the type of search (power=1) whereas the seamonkey 
one does not.

Hmm, notice that the 4.x browser is doing a post whereas the seamonkey browser 
is doing a get.  That's very suspicious.

Comment 5

[Stephen P. Morse]

I should mention that this sniffer traffic starts from the point at which the 
user clicks on "save these settings" when viewing the metacrawler customize 
page.
