Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2009-09-06 13:44:03 UTC
We have had a user report (which we have been able to verify), that using AutoWikiBrowser on meta/commons, after logging in, the user doesn't stay logged in..

This *could* be an AWB issue, however, it works fine on en.wp (and most of the other projects), and a quick blanket check accross most of the projects reveals it seemingly working fine on those too.

Wondering if anyone had any suggestions, or had seen similar issues etc?



Thanks

MaxSem has worked round this issue (for AWB, at least) in r1=5337&r2=5336&pathrev=5337">http://autowikibrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/autowikibrowser/AWB/WikiFunctions/API/ApiEdit.cs?r1=5337&r2=5336&pathrev=5337

We're not sure what is actually to blame, the .NET framework, or the Central Auth extension/php..

It seems to require a subdomain before the actual project to get it to work (on commons etc)

The cookies from commons set domain=commons.wikimedia.org , which doesn't look wrong to me in any way. I'm assuming the .NET framework is at fault here; REOPEN if you know of something MediaWiki could do to help fix this.
