Brion Vibber <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #4 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> 2009-02-18 02:51:24 UTC --- URL-based session tokens are unsafe (they leak to 3rd-party referers and in cut-n-paste), disrupt caching, and are otherwise troublesome -- cookies were introduced to HTTP precisely to allow state like login sessions to be handled more sensibly than this. MediaWiki does not and will not support URL-based sessions due to those problems. If you are referring instead to HTTP authentication, that's even harder to deal with -- there's no native way to close a login session or forget credentials temporarily. We have no intention to support this either, though there are HTTP auth plugins available. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
