Description Stacey Doljack Borsody 2006-04-28 19:14:36 UTC
Is there some change with the way Cookies and Host are handled?  I've noticed on
my own MediaWiki-driven site that after saving an edit or saving preferences I
would get redirected to a page asking me to log in again.  My Apache server is
set up with the ServerName as <domain>.<tld> and a ServerAlias of
www.<domain>.<tld>.  I was logged into my account with www.<domain>.<tld> in the
URL.  After I hit save on an edit page or preferences I noticed I was being
redirected to <domian>.<tld>/wiki/<Page> instead.  The cookie 'site' is
<domain>.<tld> but the info in the cookie shows Host of www.<domain>.<tld>.  The
browser isn't sending the cookie info on the redirect.

This seems to have started since I upgraded, I swear.  I can't remember this
happening before with 1.5.8.  I've tested this both on Firefox and Opera.

Set up your server to consistently use a single hostname and redirect alternates
to the canonical form, or you can expect to have such troubles.
