Re: [Zope] Mozilla for mgmt
Martijn Pieters wrote Has anyone besides me had trouble using Mozilla to manage Zope ie access the control panel via log in? There are regressions in recent Mozilla builds that prevent the authentication dialog from functioning properly. This regression seems to keep popping up once in a while. The password textbox is then broken, and Mozilla tries to authenticate you with an empty password field.
The current one is bugzilla 42008. ("Basic" auth works, "basic" auth doesn't). Zope gets it wrong, I just put a patch in the Collector. Mozilla "bug" at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42008 fix at http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/1328/view
Often, you can bypass it by typing the password in a seperate text window, then copying and pasting it into the password textfield. This has worked for me on Linux.
This now works, but was broken by the above Mozilla bug (ok, they're technically correct, but it's still a change, and no other browser behaves this way).
Other than this problem I have had no trouble managing Zope servers with Mozilla, or at least not much.. it all depends on the quality of the nighty build. Try a newer or older build, I'd say.
Newer ones are broken since 2000/06/01... Anthony

No, they are not. RFC2068 says it should be case-insensitive. I had already filed a new bug before I found 42008, so I marked duplicate. You already got my 'rejected' message on Zope collector issue 1328.
