480862 - relogin.cgi now just throws an error by default (should redirect to index.cgi)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

relogin.cgi as of Bugzilla 3.4 will currently just throw an error if accessed with no action. There are no links within Bugzilla itself that go to this page without an action, so I'm not that worried about this. But if somebody perhaps has some application that depends on the old default behavior of relogin.cgi (which is to log people out) then we could fix relogin.cgi to redirect people to index.cgi by default or to be sudo-login by default.

We should fix this as this is a kind of regression.

Attachment: patch, v1

Redirect to index.cgi if no action is defined, as we do in post_bug.cgi (which redirects to enter_bug.cgi if no parameters are given). I don't worry about bug 376044 as nobody ever reported any problem with the post_bug -> enter_bug redirect, and relogin.cgi should not be reached without any argument anymore anyway.

tip:

Checking in relogin.cgi;
/cvsroot/mozilla/webtools/bugzilla/relogin.cgi,v  <--  relogin.cgi
new revision: 1.43; previous revision: 1.42
done

3.3.4:

Checking in relogin.cgi;
/cvsroot/mozilla/webtools/bugzilla/relogin.cgi,v  <--  relogin.cgi
new revision: 1.42.2.1; previous revision: 1.42
done

Why didn't you redirect to index.cgi with ?logout=1 ?
