Details

To reproduce:Type username and password and hit Login button. Result:The web page returns that the session has expired. Whether you set to accept all the cookies or only from the originating site, login fails with the message that the session has expired. Actually, this site does not require cookies to login. So, I tested without any cookies accepted, too. The site still returned that the session has expired. Maybe a dupe of bug 52838.

I have figured out what blocked me from logging in to the URL. I have set cookies option to accept from "originating site only", thinking this was to work like the option in NS Communicator 4.7s. It seems that Mozilla is refusing some cookies that 4.7 allows. I can not figure out what is being refused since the "warn before accepting option" is completely broken (bug 56681), and I do not get any dialog.

cookies to owner.

I captured the traffic that occurs when the form is submitted and observed a POST sent out and a 301 (redirect) received back from the site. So this is the same problem as in bug 27687. Sorry gagan, back to you (networking).
