[Riccardo Magliocchetti]

Hi,

if i try to subscribe to bug mail from this page:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pybootchartgui

The ajax (i suppose) interface gives me a red error after clicking the tick:
The following errors were encountered:

    Error: Launchpad system error fieldset.collapsed div, fieldset div.collapsed {display: none;} fieldset.collapsible div, fieldset div.collapsed {display: block;} var LP = { cache: {}, links: {} }; var cookie_scope = '; Path=/; Secure; Domain=.launchpad.net'; // Define a global YUI sandbox that should be used by everyone. var LPS = YUI({ // Don't try to fetch CSS files. fetchCSS: false, // For paranoia, set a low timeout to not wait on loading a resource. timeout: 50 }); LPS.use('node', 'event-delegate', 'lp', 'lp.app.links', function(Y) { Y.on('load', function(e) { sortables_init(); initInlineHelp(); Y.lp.activate_collapsibles(); activateFoldables(); activateConstrainBugExpiration(); Y.lp.app.links.check_valid_lp_links(); }, window); // Hook up the function that dismisses the help window if we click // anywhere outside of it. Y.on('click', handleClickOnPage, window); Y.on('lp:context:web_link:changed', function(e) { window.location = e.new_value; }); }); var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12833497-1']); _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.launchpad.net']); _gaq.push(['_setAllowHash', false]); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga); })(); riccardo • No REFERER Header Launchpad requires a REFERER header to perform this action. There is no REFERER header present. This can be caused by configuring your browser to block REFERER headers. Unblock REFERER headers for launchpad.net and try again, or see the FAQ Why does Launchpad require a REFERER header? for more information. You can also join the #launchpad IRC support channel on irc.freenode.net for further assistance. • Take the tour • Read the guide © 2004-2011 Canonical Ltd. • Terms of use • Contact Launchpad Support • System status • r13376 (get the code) LP.links['me'] = '/~riccardo';

If i visit the url directly it works fine.

Do you have something that is blocking referrer headers?

[Riccardo Magliocchetti (riccardo)]

I think iceweasel on debian has it off by default, anyway i was already with network.http.sendRefererHeader set to 1. BTW, it's fine that you give an error but dumping a ton of js instead of the clean error message i think is to be considered a bug, no?

[Deryck Hodge (deryck)]

Yes, we have bug 521447 to track the error overlay being bad. I'll dupe against that bug. I thought you were reporting the error itself, which is not a bug since we require a referrer header.
