INVALID.

This is AOL's problem, not Camino's. Please complain to AOL.

Smokey or Sam, if either of you thinks this should be moved to Tech Evangelism, please feel free.

Chris: Did you even verify this bug before closing?

Chip: I don't see the error at all. With Camino 1.0b2 I go to aim.com, click on the Mail icon and it asks me for my screen name and password. When I give it my screen name and password, it logs me into AIM mail.

What exactly are your steps to reproduce?

And an important, if perhaps obvious question: have you made absolutely sure that you are not, in fact, blocking cookies from aol.com?

I can confirm this bug. When I go to aol.com and click on the AOL & AIM Mail link, I get the error right away. When I go to aim.com and click on the AIM Mail link, I can redirect fine to the login/password page, but when I enter my info, I get the error.

Tested on 1.0b2 and it works fine.

I can confirm this too with the latest nightly (but I'm not going to confirm the bug yet). This works fine with 1.0b2 but not with builds after it (though I haven't checked them all). I'm guessing that AOL is doing browser sniffing and picking out 1.0b2. (Which, really, is good they care about us.) This bug may become fixed when 1.0 is released.

There's a chance this is an actual regression and I'll check for that soon.
