Dillo & forums.bunsenlabs.org

Is it possible to support login to forums.bunsenlabs.org when browsing with dillo?

As of now, it is impossible to login (for me). It seriously diminish the use of the forum on lowspec pc's.

Is it possible to do anything on the pc or the server?

Re: Dillo & forums.bunsenlabs.org

^ I think something has changed recently. I used to login to the forum with dillo. Tried a few days ago, but it wouldn’t let me in.
Not investigated further.

Re: Dillo & forums.bunsenlabs.org

Works for me with Dillo 3.0.5 and the cookierc line

.bunsenlabs.org ACCEPT

Important to click the message with "the author wanted you to go HERE in 1 second" after login instead of the website redirect link, which didn't work. Why? I don't really wanna debug Dillo.

Thanks @nobody! Totaly forgot about the cookies...
Now logged in in Dillo.

Reading works.
Post a Quote reply does not work...
Nor quick reply.
Get info:

Bad HTTP_REFER. You were refered to this page from an unuthorized source. If the problem persists please make sure that `Base URL`is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL. More information regarding the referer check can be found in the FluxBB documentation.

Had to change to Chromium to reply.

Thanks @nobody. That fixed the login, but got the same issue as @rbh when posting. Oh well, nevermind, I'll use firefox instead.

Re: Dillo & forums.bunsenlabs.org

The message Bad HTTP_REFER. is pretty clear I think. Dillo must NOT strip the referer field on forums.bunsenlabs.org. If it does, this is exactly what happens. I'm setting Referrer-Policy: same-origin on all BL domains; that means an up-to-date browser will not leak a referer to other services, even if, for example, you load screenshot images posted in a screenshot thread from somewhere else.

But there is a workround. Dillo won't send the true referer page by design (privacy) but it can pretend it's coming from whatever page it's requesting. In dillorc:
http_referer=path

This works for webforms where the request result is on the same page, as BL.

I'm posting this from dillo.
