I'm trying to add new members to Wikimedia-fi mailing list with the mass subscribe feature. It always fails with white page (empty response) after long wait.
*** Bug 56843 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Are you trying to do this using Chrome? Please can you try using another browser?
(In reply to comment #2) > Are you trying to do this using Chrome? Yes. Thehelpfulone, as there is no indication that this is specific to subscribing, maybe this should be made a general bug about the well known Chrome-mailman problemsm, if there isn't another one?
Any admin action most probably will give ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE in Chrome for days and so will not succeed.
Adjusting the header on this, this is sadly a very well known issue and I know we've talked about it off and on for a long time. My understanding is that it's an upstream issue that does not appear like it is any priority but I have no idea how difficult it would be for us to try and dig in at it.
I can't however find any report mentioning chrome/chromium in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/ or any report mentioning mailman against chromium, unless it's one of these: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE Did this happen also before lists.wikimedia.org was made HTTPS-only? Among those there are several mentioning TLS forms issues. Please identify the correct upstream bug or file one, after reading those above, and link it here.
If you file a new bug (or find one with incomplete information), remember to follow this procedure, they want it: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/for-testers/providing-network-details (make sure it doesn't contain your password or non-spam private data; or that you terminate your session if it contains your cookie).
Apart from https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE I could only find https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=80427 ("Chromium does not save passwords for Mailman list admin pages") which is marked as a duplicate of https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111705 ("Chrome doesn't save password without an associated username").
A strange but (for me) reliable workaround is to close the browser tab after clicking submit.
