Portier Demo Not Working with Internet Explorer (win7)

[Dick Schrauwen]

(1) I downloaded 'https://github.com/portier/demo-rp' and installed under windows 7 in 'C:\proj-new\websites\_PORTIER_TST\' 

(2) Got it running with:

# WIN7(64) Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:01:18) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 

$> cd C:\proj-new\websites\_PORTIER_TST

$> python -m venv ./venv 

$> .\venv\Scripts\pip install -r requirements.txt

$> .\venv\Scripts\python .\server.py

# http://localhost:8000

Everything works fine nicely Chrome (NL, Versie 54.0.2840.99 m)

Did some testing with several gmail, yahoo and hotmail emails.  Excellent!

However with IE11 (NL) I'm running into a problem. IE stalls in the 'forwarding' step:

- https://broker.portier.io/confirm?session=L7gADlsA2SqkyAZ8NW54IHEYGjBaxTQbTayH47cOpWI&code=3dxhds+mar5ew+ 

-https://broker.portier.io/confirm?session=LGDQYAaHQif8_HVqsOgLUm2L9UUPrdQfbkRGPVPktDE&code=ns4o7wiq5smh

Any ideas?

BTW: I'm migrating from Persona

Thanks for the report!

Once you're hitting /confirm, you're on the hosted Broker, so this would impact all websites using Portier. The broker's code lives at https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/

I'd really appreciate it if someone could copy this bug up into GitHub, so we can track it there: https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/issues/new

December 15th is the earliest date that Mozilla is considering for actually stopping the Persona service, so we have at least a couple of weeks to solve this. I don't currently have a Windows VM handy, and won't have enough bandwidth to get one until this weekend. Thus, any help you can provide in trying to diagnose this failure would be immensely helpful.

Specifically, /confirm has an invisible HTML form that's configured to POST a proof of identity back to the website you're logging into (https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/blob/master/tmpl/forward.mustache). JavaScript on that page should automatically submit the form, making it appear like a seamless redirect in most browsers (https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/blob/master/res/static/forward.js). I suspect IE11 is, for some reason, refusing to submit the form on page load. Do you see any errors in the F12 developer tools' console?

If it's just refusing to run the JavaScript, we could make the form visible and require that IE11 users click a "continue" button to finish logging in...

I checked the source of the page and ran the auth. process again several times with MSIE devtools . It didn't detect any warnings/errors. I suppose the javascript just sends the form. I'll have a look at it and if possible test it under IE.
