I came up with a fix for my part of bug 18728 (can't log into Ebay), which was that we were submitting form variables out of order. But to add insult to injury, not ONLY does their login CGI not accept variables out of order, but when they are in the correct order, it responds with this: ------------------------------------------------- HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 00:35:44 GMT Set-Cookie: s=AQAAAAIAAAABAAAANAAAAOAJ3DhAE9w4MXBvbGxtYW5uICQxJE1vemlsbGEvJDYuV HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 00:35:44 GMT ------------------------------------------------- And we respond with a document load error, and display nothing. The two HTTP status lines are my best guess for why we aren't displaying the page returned after a successful login. I'll try to get bug 18728 checked in today, so this bug will be unblocked.
Depends on: 18728
No longer depends on: 18728
The fix for bug 18728 has been checked in.
You'll need an eBay account to log in. Updating URL to point at the log in page, though you can get there by clicking "Log In" anywhere on eBay.com

Why did I get this bug?
Reading through this more closely, I see that it was gated by fixing the out-of-order problem. But what else is wrong here? => pollmann

Warren, as noted above (2000-03-24 21:21) I fixed the out-of-order bug on Friday. Handing this back to you. It appears that the HTTP headers that the server returns are screwing us up, see them pasted above. I save the page returned locally (or from any of my web servers) and it loads fine, but when I load it from Ebay servers, which submit the duplicate headers, the page doesn't load.

Ok, Gagan should look at this. Thanks.

In NEtscape nb1b from netscape, build 200003312 I just logged on to one of the message board I was able to log on ok.
Moving to M17 which is now considered part of beta2.

Has any progress been made on this? I'd love to use Mozilla for browsing eBay, since it "feels" so much faster and I think the formatting is easier to read. Unfortunately there's very little I can do with the site, since most of eBay's servers respond with the doubled headers.
This seems to be fixed in Linux build 2000053020. I can make use of all parts of the eBay site and I've verified that they're still sending out the doubled headers.

marking as nsbeta2+ per the dup.

More from Bug 42368: Doubled redirect headers are causing us to append the two path's together which is slightly different that what I originally saw in this bug (doubled OK headers)
