32740 - Big problem with user password

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Build 200002280:

I click on class sections and Karen A. Haberstroh. When it asks me for a 
password and I enter it, it keeps asking me over and over again while loading 
the page. If I click cancel, the page loads weird. Works for communicator4 and 
ie5. This is one you'll really have to see. I really do not want to give out my 
password because then you can mess with my grades. Therefore, I need to give it 
someone I can trust. They must destroy it right away when done with this bug. I 
will email it to them. 

Either Christine Begle or Gervasi Markham since I trust they work for Mozilla.

boberb - thanks for reporting a very clear, useful bug, and for offering us your 
password. But, before you e-mail it to either me or Christine, I would check the 
bug is still there in a more recent copy of Mozilla. After all, there might be 
no need for you to let either of us know what it is :-)

Still same problem with build 2000032108 (Win98). I will send my user name and 
password to Begle and Gervasi. Please do not click on any links from within the 
page. Only view the page loading. Thank you.

To reproduce the bug:
1)Goto www.eng.rpi.edu/www/IEA/ -> Case important
2)Click on the link that says course sections
3)Click on Karen A. Haberstroh
4)Enter User Name and password
5)Repeat 1-4 in Communicator and IE for comparison.

Also note that the dialog box that appears looks messy.

With 032108 build under NT I get a "Connection Refused" message.  Is this a
secure login or site of some kind.  If it uses ssl or https I think you will
have to download the PSM package to be able to access it.

Yes, I gave the password to two people. I can give it to you too.

This bug is invalid.  If you have the PSM installed the site will work.

Comment 6

[Blake Ross]
