Login problem on few phpBB forums in local mode

[fietsknecht]

Login problem with https phpBB forums (maybe others as well, haven't tried yet). Username and password not recognized. Using local mode.

Yes, seems that proxy in local mode does not correctly editing cookies and URLs to local mode style. I'll try to fix this in nearest next (v0.10.5) release.

Thanks for report.

[atauenis]

As testing saw, the latest codebase from Git no longer have this bug.

[fietsknecht]

OK, so it will be included in v.0.10.5 release? Unfortunately, I cannot compile the code myself.

[atauenis]

Yes, I'm planning to release v0.10.5 in this month. And it will work correctly in local mode.

[fietsknecht]

Great! Thanks for your excellent work!

Published new version 0.10.5. It have no problems on my known phpBB 3.x forums (tested on phantom.sannata.org and rt20.mybb2.ru). The only exception is VOGONS, where still happens problem on log in (the forum admin seems to have enabled a bot protection, which is detecting attempts to log in via proxy).

[fietsknecht]

Hm, I still cannot login to atari-forum.com (phpBB 3.x AFAIK). My browser doesn't know port numbers so I have the proxy running on port 80 (not 8080) and from the browser connect to http://127.0.0.1/http:/atari-forum.com. Everthings seems to work, except login. Could this be related to the port number?

Registered on Atari Forum, checked, really, it saying The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again. on correct username and password.

I'll investigate this. However, the forum really have a bot-protecting plugin. When I tried to register on atari-forum.com using my e-mail on yandex.ru, the forum rejected it (however Yandex Mail is a legal and popular mailbox service in ex. USSR). So to register on it I'm forced to use another e-mail address.

I have contacted the admin fo the forum about this. I am definitely using the correct user/pw so it may have something to do with their protection. I will let you know as soon as I know more.

I've found difference between forums where login work, and where don't. Forums where all is working are running on phpBB 3.2, and which not working are running on phpBB 3.3. Atari Forum is using phpBB 3.3 too.

Tested it in normal mode of proxy with Firefox 3.6.28, login working.

Then reopened it in latest Chrome, and found the error. PhpBB 3.3 is using .example.com domain for cookies, while phpBB 3.0-3.2 used example.com. I'd forget to implement patching this kind of cookies, so this is (probably) the reason why phpBB 3.3 forums are not usable with WebOne in local mode.

I'll fix this in next version.

[atauenis]

Seems, this is caused not only by the cookie domain. Fixed it, the alert in DevTools disappeared, but cookies still don't appear in Application tab of DevTools and the bug still present. So this problem will take a time to investigate and fix.

[fietsknecht]

Thanks for your efforts, I really appreciate it. It would be wonderful if you could get it to work.

[atauenis]

Huh, probably found the source of problem. Somewhere Set-Cookie HTTP header becames be in a strange format with multiple cookies per HTTP header. And browser is saving only first cookie. Now I am working on rewrite of cookie processing to get this problem out.

[fietsknecht]

Ah, looking forward to that. Just tried the latest 0.11.1 but the issue is still there. Take your time.

[atauenis]

Yes, I'm fixed Set-Cookie header format, this solved some other problems, but not this. And I'm stumped again.
