3rd party cookie needed for some website #6

Open simonc56 opened 6 years ago

simonc56 commented 6 years ago

A torrent website (yggtorrent.is) shows this issue on Firefox : "Seedbox Error. Downloaded file is not a torrent."

The error specifically shows up with this website and this browser. Addon with Firefox with other website works, and addon on this website with other browsers works.

Problem appeared about 1 month ago. Firefox 59, xirvik addon 3.7.

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this. For example, for this torrent https://yggtorrent.is/torrent/ebook/livres/224574-son+davoine+et+agar-agar+un+concentr%C3%A9+de+bienfaits all correct.

It is a cookie problem. In Firefox, when I set 3rd party cookies settings to "Never", your addon gives this error on this website only, not on other websites. When I change the setting to "Always" or "From visited", all is good.

Very strange, can you reproduce this ?

I think the reason is that the server needs a user cookie in the request to send the *.torrent file, because it's not a public torrent tracker. And (hypothesis from me) firefox refuses the addon to use the needed website cookie.

I suggest to try to reproduce steps on another private torrent tracker.

Does anybody gonna fix it?

Good example for reproducing this bug you can find here https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads try to download ubuntu image from the section BitTorrent in bottom of page.

For example addon for Firefox doesn`t have such issue and I was able to download anything by 'Add Link to qBittorrent WebUI' https://github.com/kyuucr/add-link-to-qbittorrent-webui
