Posting tickets / Custom query shouldn't need cookies

[simon@…]

Hi,

If I try to post a new ticket or try to use the custom query function without cookies I get the following error:

Missing or invalid form token. Do you have cookies enabled?

I'm not sure why cookies are necessary, but I think this should be changed to not need cookies.

Thanks,

Simon

Cookies are used to track various information with Trac and will not be removed.

However, there is a known bug (which has been addressed a couple of days/weeks ago) with missing cookies. Search the Trac ticket DB with the error message, you'll find the related ticket.

Please always report the version of Trac you use when you submit a ticket, using the dedicated field.

I can understand that cookies are used to track information. But are they really necessary for a custom search query? I have cookies disabled for privacy reasons and don't want to enable them just for looking at some specific tickets. Would it be possible to perform a custom query without cookies?

Thanks.

I don't think it is worth implementing an 'exception case' for this very specific request. Leave the cookies on, or create an exception rule for your Trac installation within your web browser.

I'd like to stop Trac from creating any cookies for anything. I want to use HTTP Basic authentication, so I don't see any point in sending cookies.
