5 PyPI login isn't "sticky" in Safari - ID: 2724139

Last Update: Settings changed ( montanaro )

Details:

After logging into PyPI in Safari, it seems unable to remember that I'm
logged in. Every time I click on
something it presents me with "Login" again instead of showing me my list
of packages. Seems to work
ok in Firefox.

If I navigate elsewhere, it does show the login link; when I select that link, I'm immediately logged in again without entering the password. If I want to access a URL that actually require authentication, it also remembers that I'm logged in. Apparently, Safari doesn't resend the authentication every time, but only when requested by the server. The server, OTOH, assumes that the browser resends the authentication every time. Apple broke that in Safari 3.
