24.4; eww-mode error in process sentinel 'Invalid date' when receiving a valid date |
Date: |
Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:49:18 -0500 |
When running eww-mode and visiting a site using a cookie expiration date
set to "Mon, 06 Mar 2130 20:55:03 GMT" eww-mode will fail to load
subsequent URLs on the domain (in this case http://ahungry.com) and
instead simply print the following message in the echo area:
error in process sentinel: Invalid date: Mon, 06 Mar 2130 20:55:03 GMT
According to Wikipedia and other sources I can find online regarding the
HTTP cookie expires field, this date format is valid
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) and should not be causing
an error in the process sentinel (and even if some site sent an invalid
date, I don't think it should halt further site interaction, but either
ignore the invalid date, or ignore the cookie).
Steps to reproduce under emacs -Q:
eww
ahungry.com
RET
TAB
TAB
RET
You'll then see the error pop up (instead of visiting the Blog link on
the site).

The issue is fixed, no more failure to load subsequent pages when an

Thanks for checking, and so I'm closing Bug#19798 too.
