Daisuke fixed a 22-year old bug and we now prevent passwords in URLs from being saved in history!

Interesting.

That’s good, but out of scope for a browser, really. Also there shouldn’t be passwords in URLs!

I forgot about that. It shouldn’t, these days.

I have this exact use case on a work machine, because the proxy flat refuses to prompt for the login, just goes straight to deny.

I own neither the proxy, nor the steaming heap of code that lives behind it, and I’m grateful for that every single day…

That just seems like crappy website design

It has nothing to do with website design. It’s part of the HTTP protocol. A poor part in today’s understanding and use cases, but in the 90s it would have made sense.

RIP that one guy who relied on this bug. He’s gonna have to create a bookmark now, which will ruin his whole workflow.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
