Bug Description
After verifying their email, a user is presented with a screen that has a "Browse" link. If the user is not already logged into Psiphon, the link works fine (brings the user to the login screen). If the user *is* already logged in, the link brings the user to a page with the Bluebar and a 404 underneath.
Cause:
The Browse link goes to https:/
Possible solutions:
* Have e.php (the verification page) log out any existing sessions.
* Make the server interpret the path differently depending on the state of the user.
* Don't have any link on the verification page. (Not very nice.)
Low priority, since the end state isn't terribly fatal. (User can just put a new address in the Bluebar.)
This problem is more general than I initially thought. For example, another reproduction scenario:
* Proxy's "random" path is something other than /001/ /proxy/ path and logs in. /proxy/ path again.
* User goes to https:/
* In other tab, user goes to https:/
* User gets Bluebar over 404.
