Item2294: WebChanges paging broken

http://foswiki.org/Tasks/WebChanges?limit=20;showpage=2 displays page 1.

From the note at the bottom, perhaps foswiki.org/Tasks needs to upgrade to a current release?

We should consume our own product

Better not, as trunk is not yet stable enough for running a site.

Timothe - we do consume our own product. all developers should be accessing foswiki.org via http://trunk.foswiki.org (which is what that paging was added for), so that we get that codebase tested.

Actually, I tried that too. I get a username/password prompt from the wiki; enter the same one that I use here. I don't get an error, but the prompt repeats forever. So the trunk version doesn't work for me either. Perhaps I'm not a developer? But I should get an error, not an infinte loop asking for access information.

I see that this is still waiting for me. Well, trunk.foswiki.org still prompts for a login - in an infinite loop. So I can't say whether this works for me or not

that is really really weird. I'm making this change from trunk.foswiki.org :/

when you get this infinite loop, is the dialog telling you what it thinks is wrong?

I am not imagining this. Maybe there is a ghost in the system that doesn't like me

Here are more details.

Running Windows 7, IE 8.0.7600.16385

I am logged in, looking at this item. I center-click on http://trunk.foswiki.org/Tasks/WebChanges?limit=20;showpage=2, to open it in a new tab. This opened the new tab with http://trunk.foswiki.org/bin/login/Tasks/WebChanges?validation_key=6e17ec9820050ff210c7c96beedf16f5;limit=20;showpage=2;foswiki_origin=GET%2cview%2c/Tasks/WebChanges%3fvalidation_key%3d6e17ec9820050ff210c7c96beedf16f5%3blimit%3d20%3bshowpage%3d2 in the address bar.

My username and password are auto-filled (same as when I logged-in here).

I click 'logon', and the screen refreshes - to the same logon screen. There is no error message reported anywhere on the client side.

http://trunk.foswiki.org/bin/login/Tasks/WebChanges?validation_key=6e17ec9820050ff210c7c96beedf16f5;limit=20;showpage=2;foswiki_origin=GET%2cview%2c/Tasks/WebChanges%3fvalidation_key%3d6e17ec9820050ff210c7c96beedf16f5%3blimit%3d20%3bshowpage%3d2

Because this is too much cybercrud to compare visually, I pasted each into a .txt file and diffed them. They are the same.

This is being written on 1-Oct-10 at ~1510 UTC, if you want to check the server log files.

I just tried the same thing with a left click (no new tab) in another IE window, same results.

Ah!, I also tried this with Firefox 3.6.10 - it allowed the login.

Chrome also permits the login.

So the login loop seems to be an IE issue. I don't >think< I have a wierd IE configuration - but perhaps the log files can reveal something.

Can't repro anymore. Timothe, could you check again to see whether that bug still persists? Otherwise it seems to be working correctly. Not sure this could be any browser issue as paging is done on the server side.
