Summary: Guest fallback on database error doesn't work Project: Freeciv Submitted by: jtn Submitted on: Tue Mar 6 00:27:52 2012 Category: None Severity: 2 - Minor Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: S2_3, S2_4 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: Any Planned Release: _______________________________________________________ Details: When a server has authentication enabled and guest logins enabled (--Guests), in the event of a database error for a non-guest username, it falls back to connecting the user as a guest. However, the server sends a chat message before the connection is established to explain to the client what's happened. The client doesn't like this; it says Received packet PACKET_CHAT_MSG (25) before establishing connection! and disconnects in disgust, rather defeating the point of the exercise. Either the server shouldn't send the chat message, or the client should be more relaxed about receiving early chat messages (client_packet_input()), or possibly both. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?19526> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
