87407 - Rotating IP causes problems with buglist.cgi

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

It seems my wonderful rotating IP is bringing out all manner of Bugzilla bugs
today.  Try this one out:

Go to a stored query.  The pondering screen seems to redirect you to a URL that
is just "buglist.cgi".  That's bad in itself (not bookmarkable), but at the
moment we'll just assume that in the meantime my IP changed.  Hence you'll see a
logged out footer.

Click on "Change Several Bugs At Once".  At this point, if you're not lucky
enough for your IP to become the right one again, you'll get a log in screen
that looks absolutely lovely.

Oh, and this is reproduced under both N4.77 and Mozilla.

And if you _do_ try to log in you get an empty bug list coming out the other
end.

The issue here appears to be similar to bug 80045.  The solution is a little
more complex.  In bug 80045 simply adding a \n before printing anything else was
the solution, in this instance, we'll have to deal with the multipart stuff that
allows there to be a "Please Stand By" page.

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

Comment 10

[Joel Peshkin]

These bugs appear to be abandoned.  Retargeting to 2.20

Comment 11

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Does this still happen, actually? We fixed most of the rotating-IP problems, I
thought...

Comment 12

[Gunnar Wagenknecht]

I'm still having problems with dynamic IPs. I have to login again and again just because I move my notebook between different networks.

Comment 13

[Olav Vitters]

Fixed as per default we now set loginnetmask to 0. Meaning people can choose to disable the IP restriction.
