Hi guys,

I keep on hearing isolated reports of people having problems accessing

http://www.infotask.ca/ipsc/matches.cgi

The system does use a cookie to keep track of who is accessing the pages, and I suspect that the culprid is some version of Internet Explorer with a very high 'privacy' setting, rejecting that cookie.

Given the volume of access/traffic now, clearly the majority of people are fine, but I don't want to leave anyone stranded. I tested this using the versions of OS and browsers I have, maybe I could ask for help testing it using other combinations?

I've done:

Opera, Mozilla, and IE v6 on XP sp2 (IE on "High" privacy setting)
same combination on Win2000
same combination on Win2003 server

I also tried it with Netscape v7 and v7.2 with the highest privacy setting, and it worked fine also.

Honestly, I can't find any combination of web browser/operating system which causes problems, other than (of course) just rejecting any and all HTTP cookies (which, well, sorry to say, is possible, but then it renders most of the web useless...).

The symptoms would be that you would be allowed to login, you'd see the main page with the list of matches, but anything you tried to do after that, you'd get thrown back to the login page with a "session expired" type msg... Can anyone get that using their home setup? Or, for that matter, any other login/connection issues?

Thanks...

can you try signing up to the test match (or at the least go into any of the squad signup pages, that's the real test - can you login AND do something beyond that. You don't need to signup anywhere, just try going to the squad signup pages - if you can see those, it's all good for you ;) )

Thanks
 
yeah, it seems to be fine, but I keep on hearing how 'some' people are having 'some' problems, without anyone being able to be more specific... I guess until someone tells me 'I did <THIS> using <THAT> software and <THIS IS> what happened', I'll just ignore it... Nothing I can do.

Click to expand...

So it strikes me...that in 3 weeks...you've gone from Unix Developer...to Technical Support :p

...all kidding aside...it should work on all the the most outdated machines...and you can't really design a modern web based system around that constraint...

I like...

Cheers
 
been super busy dude, try to get around to playing on it this week maybe.
