Bug 31938

Summary: Broken cookie handling in lynx-ssl-2.8.4.1
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: Sean Kelly <smkelly>
Component: Individual Port(s)Assignee: freebsd-ports (Nobody) <ports>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: Latest   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Sean Kelly 2001-11-12 22:00:02 UTC 
	Attempts to login to various websites (Slashdot, local campus site,
	etc) which have a login/password form which set a cookie and then
	redirect you to another page are failing.  It appears that the
	browser is not telling the web server about the cookie after the
	redirect.

Fix: 

None known so far.
How-To-Repeat: 	Try to login to a user account at http://slashdot.org or some other
	site that uses a form to collect username/password, POSTs to a page
	which sets a cookie, and then redirects you to a new page which
	requires that the previously set cookie be present.

This can be closed.  It was user error :(

Default lynxrc was trying to use /home/smkelly/.lynx_cookies, and I didn't
have a /home -> /usr/home symlink.
