Commit 4b96c6766c15ffc66ce399e33179b851049b5839 introduces regression

[csware]

Commit 4b96c6766c15ffc66ce399e33179b851049b5839 causes Shibboleth login to fail (this is the first commit where this issue happens, identified using bisecting). Shibboleth receives a HTML post and then generates a HTML page with an onload action and/or a single submit button in a noscript block that redirects the request back to a calling web page.

Please revert that commit. Based on the commit description (and the separate commits that follow), I cannot see what problem it was trying to fix.

oh, this commit is part of the story to make the latest HTMX test suite working... will have a look.

Reverting that commit (and adding final AbstractJavaScriptEngine<?> jsEngine = page.getWebClient().getJavaScriptEngine(); again) makes it work again.

@csware do you have a test page where i can debug this?

[csware]

Unfortunately not, I collected the HTML pages of the Shibboleth login process, replaced all SAML data, but I cannot reproduce the issue with that page. There also must be something else.

Examples.zip Brokenpage.htm is the output of asXML() and Brokenpage2 is the HTML content collected using Firefox.

thanks, that helps a bit (and matches my theory) - will try to build a test case

Sorry for being not that responsive during the last days - was on a workshop and will be out for two more weeks to have a holiday break. Afterwards we can work together to get this finally done.
