Description brucec 2010-05-19 08:27:46 UTC 
The "Enter a new issue" link at http://netbeans.org/community/issues.html doesn't work: it redirects to "My Page" instead of going to Bugzilla.
Comment 1 Jan Pirek 2010-05-19 09:12:50 UTC 
Hello,
thanks for the report.

The link works:

* If I am logged to nb.org already, it goes directly to http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi.

* If I am not logged in, it takes me to the login page first and after successful login it redirects to http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi. Note that if I screw the login, the redirect information is lost and I stay on 'my page'

Entering the URL http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi always directs me to "My page"; I don't know what's broken about my setup!
Comment 3 Jan Pirek 2010-05-19 10:03:00 UTC 
You should have cookies enabled for this page as it stores some auth tokens in the browser's cookies.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 and have 12 cookies from netbeans.org. I tried removing them and having them repopulated but that didn't fix the problem.

Looks like quite a mystery. I tried to reproduce with FF, but no success. Does this happen to you in other browsers?

Thanks,
jan

It doesn't happen in Konqueror 3.5.4.
Comment 7 brucec 2010-05-19 19:02:59 UTC 
I've just tried this on Firefox 3.6.3 on FreeBSD at home, and it works - the version that failed was at work behind an HTTP proxy.
Comment 8 puce 2010-06-23 13:19:55 UTC 
I have the same problem. I'm also behind a proxy. It keeps redirecting me to mypage -> I can't file a new issue!

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3

With IE8 it works, though!
Comment 9 Jan Pirek 2011-11-28 08:08:52 UTC 
I have just tried from office network behind proxy. FF 7, FF 8 and it works as expected.
