[Bug 1084827] New: email links in forum "Reply to thread" notices open Corrupted Content Error page instead of forum page
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084827 Bug ID: 1084827 Summary: email links in forum "Reply to thread" notices open Corrupted Content Error page instead of forum page Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Infrastructure Assignee: mrueckert@suse.com Reporter: mrmazda@earthlink.net QA Contact: lars.vogdt@suse.com CC: per@computer.org, suse-beta@cboltz.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Problem: email links in forum "Reply to thread" notices open Corrupted Content Error page instead of forum page email list thread that produced no useful response: https://lists.opensuse.org/heroes/2018-02/msg00008.html error message:[quote] Corrupted Content Error The site at https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/530041-Leap-42-3-nouveau-pointer-... has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.[/quote] These forums@microfocus.com email links always work if pasted into the urlbar and the trailing "?goto=newpost" is removed before proceeding. This highly annoying web accessibility impediment started happening routinely around the first of this year. IIRC, around that time, around 6 months after I updated from 42.1 to 42.3, there were some significant Nuremberg infrastructure changes. To cause these links to load the error page instead of the intended destination requires no particular action or inaction I've been able to pin down. It routinely happens while I have various B.O.O. bug pages loaded, among them saved searches, one or more of which have remained loaded across browser restarts, and may or may not have been used in recent hours or minutes. There may or may not be any open wiki or forum pages on restart, but there will nearly always have been at least one of them open in logged in state within the past 24 hours. I rarely have the browser closed except briefly for daily backup or when I log out for zypper system updating. I always start browser by loading previous session, which always has well over a hundred tabs. Since browser restarts usually cause logging out from login.microfocus.com, I typically switch to one of the open B.O.O. tabs to force re-logging in by clicking on a saved search link shortly after a browser reopen. Often I remember to check that I remain logged in before trying to open an emailed forum link, after which the link is less likely to produce the error page. Unless I've relatively recently been active on a forum or wiki page, the most likely result of the attempt is the corruption error, unless I have one or more open and recently touched forum or wiki page with a visible "log out" link. The browser I virtually always use for BOO, forum and Wiki Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.2 has NoScript extension set to always allow opensuse.org pages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Another reason is clicking novell.com and suse.com links in list mail opens 404 pages instead of the desired bug,
Can you show me an example? Maybe a posting in the archive with such links. I have never seen those links fail.
They fail purposely due to my workaround for bug 863582 The continues to frustrate. Even when I refresh B.O.O. to ensure its login persists, opening a fresh email link will produce the corrupted content page unless I've also refreshed a forum page in between the B.O.O. refresh and the link open attempt. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think I'll detach myself from this bug then. Reporting a bug on something you cause to fail on purpose ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If my browser is not logged into the forums (has never logged into the forums) then all is okay. If I have just logged into the forums in that browser, then all is okay.
If I logged into the forums some time ago and my login is near expiring, then I see this problem. When I see it, I go to the main forum page in another tab, and I login there if it does not show me as already logged in. I can then retry the failed page (with the retry button on that page) and it now works.
All confirmed here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
