5 Chrome 4.0 + Privoxy = lost cookies - ID: 2894188

Last Update: Settings changed ( fabiankeil )

Details:

I'm trying to pin down a problem where Google Chrome 4.0.223.16 (current
beta version) does not always send cookies on requests. The problem only
occurs in Chrome if requests are going through Privoxy. It only started
appearing in Chrome 4.0; Chrome 3.0 (current stable) does not show it. I do
not know if it's a bug in Chrome, Privoxy, or the combination of the two.

There's a lot more detail (including PCAP traces) filed in a Chrome bug:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26813
I'm stuck debugging this now because I don't know a good way to log the
traffic between Chrome and Privoxy.

Date: 2009-11-09 19:02 Sender: fabiankeil You're welcome. We keep all the reports around and don't have direct access to the database anyway, so you should be able to reopen the request if necessary.
Date: 2009-11-09 17:00 Sender: nelson_minar Thanks for the help. I was able to capture a debug log of the bug that suggests that Chrome is never sending the missing Cookie header to Privoxy. Lots more details on Chrome's bug tracker. I've marked this bug "closed" on Privoxy's bug tracker since I have no evidence it's actually a Privoxy bug. Would be nice to keep the bug entry in the database, though, in case the Chrome team thinks it's a Privoxy problem afterall.
Date: 2009-11-08 18:45 Sender: fabiankeil Please have a look at Privoxy's debug settings at: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html#DEBUG If you configure a logfile and enable everything but "debug 64" and "debug 16", you should get a pretty good idea of what kind of headers Privoxy is receiving and what it does with them.
