Strange login redirect behavior

[Dave Abrahams <dave@…>]

Since ​http://svn.boost.org upgraded to 0.11, I've seen a change in behavior. It used to be that I could click "new ticket," then notice I'm not logged in, then log in and still be looking at the new ticket form. Since the upgrade to 0.11, when I log in, I am redirected to the main wiki page.

I have a feeling this may be related to why the LoginRedirect? plugin doesn't work on my own Trac instance (a different one).

I can create a login for testing purposes on svn.boost.org if you need to experience this for yourself.

I have added a patch to #5340 that adds redirection to /login when accessing a restricted resource unauthenticated. The reason why ​th:PermRedirectPlugin doesn't work is because when it redirects to /login, the Referer: header is empty or missing instead of containing the original URL.

You might want to try the patch and see if it solves the problem for you.

Is this still an issue with 0.11.1? The "new ticket" case mentioned in the description seems to work here, at least.

[Dave Abrahams <dave@…>]

I don't know whether it's still an issue with 0.11.1 because I personally can't upgrade ​http://svn.boost.org. However, I've Cc'd people who can, so maybe we can get an answer.

[Dave Abrahams <dave@…>]

Well, apparently I can't edit the Cc's, but I sent them mail pointing to this ticket.

Fixed now; seems like this particular issue was on the server side all along. Sorry for the noise.

What was the solution? We are seeing this on our Sage trac (​http://www.sagemath.org) as well.
