Hi all,

I fail to access gmail with latest WA code. Any idea?

This can be reproduced by following link:

It looks like they changed the uri for the html-only view (from
ui=html to f=1). I changed that in the code, but I still get an error
that cookies can't be loaded.

"Your browser...s cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on."

(I didn't check in the code since it didn't address the problem).

I don't know how WebAnywhere handles cookies. But we might have a
problem with how WA is handling cookies or google may be doing
something new that we can't handle. I'm not sure. I'll play more with
WebAnywhere cookies for the moment.

Ideas?

Ah. I see. They are no longer using the uri to determine which version
you get. They are using cookies so we must be doing something with
that cookie.

It still works on the beta site: webanywhere.cs.washington.edu/beta/

I got this error before, but I couldn't isolate it.

Somehow it just always started working again once I uploaded it to
webanywhere.cs.washington.edu.

I realize that solution is not all that satisfying, but it should help
direct the debugging effort!

Jeff, I don't quite understand this. You uploaded *what* to make it work again?

For some reason, it will sometimes work on
webanywhere.cs.washington.edu when it doesn't from localhost.

There might be an odd bug with the web proxy that makes it handle
cookies correctly only from URLs with domain names, as opposed to IPs?

This is just a guess, but I have run into this before while running
from localhost.
