[rt-users] RT requiring login for every click

[Mark Hazen]

Thanks Stephen-

Alas, SetupSessionCookie has changed dramatically in 3.8, and there
seems to no longer a $session_properties hash in the application at all
under 3.8, perhaps its naming has changed?

I've tested CGI::Cookie in a standalone CGI app, and in that situation
it worked properly.

I'd added the simple lines below to SetupSessionCookie after copying it
over to local/html/Elements directory, and the output verified that
%cookies was undefined.

    my %cookies      = CGI::Cookie->fetch;

    +open (FOO,">/tmp/foo");
    +if (%cookies) {
    +  foreach (keys %cookies) { print FOO "$_\n"; }
    +} else {  print FOO "cookies undefined\n"; }
    +close FOO;

I've tested with both Firefox 3.0.1 and IE 7.0.5730.13, and the
undefined cookies behavior exists with both (that being, the cookies
exist and are being sent from the browsers, but RT isn't properly
retrieving them). I'm interested in suggestions on where to inject more
testing code, but I'm fairly certain this is due to either an RT bug or
something in the environment here which is causing problems (the latter
of which I am doubtful of, since this is a brand new and very typical RT
install).
