Hi,

trac seems to forget who I am every hour or so. In earlier versions that
would happen if you were logged into the https side and visited a http
trac page, but that's not it this time.

It's sort of annoying to have to relog in when you hit the Preview button
to submit to a bug. Luckily (at least in my browser) just the meta tags
like Component and keywords are forgotten, the text of your comment is
recoverable.

?
thanks,
Hamish

Comment:

for the record, since others reported to me the same trouble in private
mails: it turns out this was due to my university's proxy server; I guess
the outgoing portal was switching the presented IP address during load
balancing or otherwise invalidating the https session. Last week I added
an exemption to not use the local proxy server for trac.osgeo.org in my
web browser and the problem has finally gone away. yay
(it costs me a few cents more per MB, but luckily I've got that choice,
our students don't. bandwidth ain't cheap on south pacific islands)
