Well, one would have thought. Unfortunately, it seems that whatever test is being used has allowed the same problem to slip through on at least three occasions that I came up with from the past year. That means the test isn't testing what it needs to test in order to ensure that we don't get this result from the code. It's a system problem, not a people problem; I have no doubt that the usual suite of tests were being done. However, we need a test that will tell us whether or not a CU will see 127.0.0.1 results instead of the actual originating IP and UA, and it appears that particular test isn't incorporated into the pre-release QA check yet. I have faith that a method for testing this, in order to ensure that this particular question is adequately answered, will be developed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
