tell you that you have cookies disabled when in fact you may not.
Errr, that's what I shoulda said. This broke quinlan's emacs
editing-helper tool which does a direct login submission. I did give
him the workaround, though.
Is that _really_ something we have to support? Logging
in without the
login form? It seems like a bit of a pathological case. In fact, I
believe that fixing bug 842921 (forms accept GET parameters) would
prevent that URL from working anyways.
You'd have the same problem submitting that form all through POST.
