Chat shows raw HTML output

[XavierAntoviaque]

On hackit.cx, when I click on "Start mission", the IM window appears, but it is filled with HTML code. It goes too fast to really see what it is about, and it hangs the browser, maybe an error message or a traceback. (cf screenshot)

I still have the issue - I merged the latest changes from your branch Vlad, and it still shows raw HTML output.

What is the issue exactly? Is it an exception raised during an Ajax call?

This bug is pretty nasty, it makes the browser hang completely - it would be good to add some error handling here (not just fixing the exception), in case another bug creates the same effect later on.

ok - it didn't happen on my side

The html out put is an warning issues by OWA which tries to set a cookie after some content has been outputted to the browser.
I ssh-ed in hackit.cx and fixed it. Also commited to the repository.
As far as detecting filtering the errors, i don't think i can do it on the front end. The js just outputs whatever it receives from the ajax call. One way would be be just to change the error_reporting level for that ajax call

Have a look at JSON - passing values this way will make it easier to handle errors: http://php.net/manual/en/book.json.php

If you want I can postpone this part to alpha3.0 though.
