RE: [Catalyst] Session problems with IE and cookies - workaround

I setup some front-end tests with it, using the Firefox plugin to quickly have a working skeleton then looping over this using Test::LectroTest, and I found it very easy to run, and incredibly powerful. Much easier than writing T:W:Mechanize based tests, all the more so as I never could have Recorder DWIM :) You have to use the selenium rc, but the setup is far from complex.

Re: [Catalyst] Session problems with IE and cookies
Don't really understand the root of the problem, but I asked about this on #Catalyst and was told of a workaround, and saved it to my .bashrc hints.

Re: [Catalyst] Session problems with IE and cookies
we had the exact same problem with ie. but not firefox. people even wrote tutorial on their own blogs to teach other users how to log on to our site. we could not find out the source of error. we reworte the whole thing from scratch. and now we are hearing less complaints. we couldnt verify if we really have fixed it because the problem happened randomly. we could never replicate the bug.

Re: [Catalyst] Session problems with IE and cookies
I have created a site using Catalyst, and I access it with IE, but I can login with no issues. However, 2 customers told me that they can login on the site from one location, but they cannot do it from their work place. I don't know, but it might be the same bug, since after the login, the program is making an external redirection, and the cookies are used... Anyway, if somebody will find what's the problem, please write on the list.
