When using lynx (lynx-2.8.1-5) to access BugZilla, the login page appears repeatedly. The system (not sure which piece: BugZilla or Lynx) does not seem to "remember" that I have already logged in. Four or five times. Specifically, when I select the "Commit" link at the bottom of this form, I will probably get prompted to log in. Again. ------- Additional Comments From 01/23/99 16:03 ------- Yup. Lynx displayed the login page again, before showing me the confirmation page. Then, when I select "View Bug#930", I get to login again! Now I get to log in again just to add this comment. *sigh*
(finally gave up - using Netscape this time) A possibly relevant point is that Lynx was NOT offered a cookie by BugZilla. Don't know if that's how it works, but figured I'd point that out.
I want to point out that Bugzilla also forgot to put the e-mail address into the comment header!
The original bugzilla was not designed to support lynx at all. I have been slowly re-working the code to allow lynx to be usable without too much pain, but as you have seen, it's not there yet. It is a work in progress. ------- Email Received From Adam Thompson <athompso> 02/01/99 17:48 -------
Also, fo some reason this bug report shows "Email Received From Adam Thompson", but does not give any links to actual e-mail.
I see the same behavior using Netscape.
Newest versions of Lynx seem to work fine now with storing cookies given by Bugzilla. Please reopen this bug if this is not the case.
