Attempting to search the GCC gnatsweb
(http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl) I noticed a few
problems:
* The login page makes no mention of needing to have cookies
enabled; but without cookies enabled it just redirects to another login
page (under Netscape) or goes to a "Redirecting" page which does nothing
(under lynx). The latter problem seems to be because it is trying to use
an HTTP "Refresh" header, which is not mentioned in RFC 2616 (the HTTP 1.1
spec), and also applies even if cookies are accepted.
* Under lynx -cookies, after accepting two cookies, lynx then gives an
error "Accept invalid cookie path=/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl as a prefix of
'/cgi-bin'? (n)". If this is indeed invalid, the gnatsweb should be
fixed.
* When using Netscape and accepting cookies it is possible to log in as
guest, but then searching for category "c" also shows up bugs in category
"c++".
