[Vimprobable-users] gchat weirdness

[Ryan M. <rm...@de...>]

Hi,

Using the most recent hg build, if I sign into the gmail web
interface, my browser-based gchat client is able to connect if and
only if I have a previously untouched cookies file.

Basically, wipe the cookies file, open vimprobable2, connect to
gmail.com, wait to see if gchat connects. It should.

If I open the browser after having previously browsed and logged into
gchat, I'll have some gmail cookies stored, and my gchat will NOT
connect. It will keep retrying but never succeed.

I can then wipe my cookies file and restart the browser, and it will
work once more.

If I browse away from the gmail page after logging in from a blank
cookies file, I can return to gmail and gchat will connect. The
problem only begins after I close and reopen the browser.

Any ideas, or can anyone confirm this?

My useragent is a spoofed one that I took from my Iceweasel/Firefox
browser on another PC that works with gchat no problem.

Regards,
Ryan

So, when you're talking about wiping the cookie file, do you mean it
has to be completely blank or just free of Google cookies?

Just Google cookies need to be cleared. Also, I have trouble logging
into my Google (Apps) account that I use for this email address. If I
have google cookies from logging into my other gmail account, I can't
seem to log into this account. If I clear them, I can.

So strange!

Have you tried looking what's inside this cookie? Anything
readable/suspicious?
