Description Tyler Romeo 2013-04-30 17:07:17 UTC 
Setting $wgCookieExpiration = 0 does not, as documented, make all cookies in-session. Rather, it makes all cookies expire 0 second from the server time. This usually does not cause an issue because MediaWiki will load the user from the session instead, but it causes issues with any extensions that use cookies (specifically Extension:SecureSessions). Will have a patch to fix this in Gerrit soon. Maybe this should be backported?

Comment 2 Nemo 2013-04-30 17:14:09 UTC 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like something that never worked, almost a new feature and definitely not a regression: nice to have but doesn't seem "enough" for a backport so stable.

Comment 4 Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-07-03 17:40:32 UTC 
Yeah, this never worked. I updated the docs at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCookieExpiration accordingly.
