And it has nothing to do with the password being blank. >>> Upon hitting the ŒSubscribe¹ form button, the browser goes to >>> https://mail.python.org/mailman/subscribe/pypy-dev >>> with the response HTML containing: >>> <h1>pypy-dev Subscription results</h1>You must GET the form before >>> submitting it. This says that the form he's submitting either is not the form at <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev> or he got (http GET) the form either more than 1 hour before or less than 5 seconds before submitting it. This is because of the fix for <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1082746>. The feature is described at <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/NEWS>, lines 497-505 and was implemented for the python.org lists with the recent 2.1.19 upgrade. There are a number of recent POST requests to <https://mail.python.org/mailman/subscribe/pypy-dev> in the logs at mail.python.org, so I can't absolutely confirm the scenario, but I suspect it went something like this: 1) POST an old form with a password and get the error. 2) go back in the browser and try again, still with an old form and still get the error 3) reget a fresh listinfo page, fill in and submit the form, this time with no password and it works, not because no password, but because it was a fresh form. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
