Reddit login not working #5

Closed girishso closed 9 years ago

girishso commented 9 years ago

Reddit login example from Readme fails with "wrong password" message.

Is it because clicking Reddit "login" button seems to send an ajax request (in browser)?

Any ideas how to fix it?

Yes, POST request goes to https://www.reddit.com/api/login/user, response is in JSON. You can see all requests fields in browser console.

Investigated it further... it's not an ajax/javascript issue. For some reason passwd field value is not getting submitted on fm.Submit

If it's anything like the GitHub login form, then the fix is sitting in #8. The passwd field probably isn't being added to the list of the form's fields because its initial value is empty.
