Comment 7 for bug 438671

Marc,

i believe you that you lastest submissions suceeded. Most POSTs from checkbox to https://launchpad.net/+hwdb/+submit succeed.
But are you sure that you could fix the problem? I found these OOPSes in the LP error reports from the last days, all caused by missing fields:

I think there are two things you can check:

1. Before LaunchpadExchange.launchpad_exchange() submits the data, ensure that dictionary self._form has all the items you mentioned. Note that several fields are _not_ initially set in LaunchpadExchange.register(), but only later in methods like LaunchpadExchange.LaunchpadExchange.().

2. Check the response headers in LaunchpadExchange.launchpad_exchange(). http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Elaunchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-devel/download/head%3A/01submitdata.txt-20070810091007-2jyzrcjbf3wfz31e-2/01-submit-data.txt
(Cheicking the header would be a good idea anyway, for example in order to detect if the submission_key set by checkbox is already used.)
