[Mailman-Users] [ alexandria-Support Requests-497696 ] mailman authentication broken

I seemed to remember that the cookie problem with mailman and konqueror was
only for recent versions of mailman 2.0 and didn't affect 2.0.5 (which is
what lists.sourceforge.net still runs due to the 8 or so patches I have
against it, and the fact that we didn't seem to need to upgrade to the newer
versions)
So: does the cookie/konqueror problem also affect 2.0.5 or is this a
separate problem?
Thanks
Marc

Summary: mailman authentication broken
Initial Comment:
Mailman's authentication mechanism on the
administrative pages is broken for all of the 6 lists
that I manage. Nothing has changed on the client
side since it worked last. After successfully
entering the admin interface with my password I get
an error message saying "Error decoding authorization
cookie" when trying to view the next authenticated
page.
I cleared the cookie cache and tried again, but the
problem continued.
This is with Konqueror/KDE 2.2 on Linux.

The same thing happens when I try Konqueror 2.2 on another
machine.

Mmmh, we have many konqueror users and you are the first one
to complain.
I seem to remember that more recent mailmans had a bug with
cookies and konqueror, but the one on SF.net shouldn't have
the bug.
To rule out weird things, do you mind trying from another
machine with konqueror?

It just worked with IE, but as Konqueror hasn't had any
cookie problems with other applications I think this a bug
in Mailman's cookie parsing rather than a bug in Konqueror.

Check whether this also happens if you use another browser.
