2007-02-06 21:24:43 Matthew Paul Thomas launchpad: statusexplanation Not as important now, because it occurs only if you clear your cookies. But it's still a problem that (for example) Bugzilla has solved.

2011-04-25 06:12:05 Robert Collins summary POST request fails if user not authenticated (eg. launchpad restarted) POST request fails if user not authenticated
2011-04-25 06:12:29 Robert Collins description A page submit using a POST request fails with the message: Application error. Unauthenticated user POSTing to page that requires authentication. if the user is not logged in. This can happen when somebody has been editing a page/form and Launchpad has been restarted in the mean-time. This leads to data loss, particularly if the /previous/ page was call generated by a POST and marked uncachable (meaning it's not even possible to go backwards and copy+paste the data elsewhere). In the above situation, the user should be directed to login to Launchpad and then save the data after this has happened. A page submit using a POST request fails with the message:   Application error. Unauthenticated user POSTing to page that requires authentication. if the user is not logged in. This can happen when somebody has been editing a page/form and Launchpad's session database has been purged in the mean-time. This leads to data loss, particularly if the /previous/ page was call generated by a POST and marked uncachable (meaning it's not even possible to go backwards and copy+paste the data elsewhere). In the above situation, the user should be directed to login to Launchpad and then save the data after this has happened.
