Forum OpenACS Development: Re: HEAD redirect to registration behavior is different/broken

Randy, I though I got your problem, but apparently I'm not, as I do not see your problem. Here is what I did:
  1. I accessed http://192.168.16.1:8000/dotlrn/classes/segeln/asc/asc
  2. I got redirected to http://192.168.16.1:8000/register/?return%5furl=http%3a%2f%2f192%2e168%2e16%2e1%3a8000%2fdotlrn%2fclasses%2fsegeln%2fasc%2fasc%2fapplets
  3. I clicked the register link that brought me to http://192.168.16.1:8000/register/user-new?return%5furl=http%3a%2f%2f192%2e168%2e16%2e1%3a8000%2fdotlrn%2fclasses%2fsegeln%2fasc%2fasc%2fapplets
  4. I filled out the details and got redirected to http://192.168.16.1:8000/dotlrn/classes/segeln/asc/asc
Do you have additional steps after /register/user-new/ ?. Do you use /register/user-new/ in the first place, or are you accessing some other page to register a new user?

Please try it out with the latest checkout and if it is fixed, just close your bug again. If not, I'm really curious what is different between our setups.

Malte,

When you get the initial redirect to the login page, enter a new set of credentials and hit ENTER. You should see an error indicating unknown user. This step should be inserted between 2 and 3 in your numbered list above.

Now, click the register link
complete registration
where are you redirected upon completion of registration?

I haven't added or changed any of the pages that process the new-user.

The minimal example I included above goes into /www/register because the system treats return_url differently if you're entering along that vector. However, it's not required to illustrate the problem.

Can you give me a url (that I can reach) to a page requiring authenticated access on a 5.0 server? Once authenticated, the page should be displayable without requiring membership in any special groups. I'll try to reproduce this issue and give you the exact blow-by-blow click sequence so you can reproduce it also.
