Description Shaya Potter 2004-02-09 21:45:06 UTC

Version:           3.2.0-rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

If one goes to http://www.hertz.com in Konqueror (using the unstable Debian rc1 debs) I get the "cookies disabled" error page.  Same thing if I try to login to washingtonpost.com

both of these seems to do a javascript test for cookies which fails.

I tried switching browsers identifications, but it didn't make a difference.

more specific comments.

what hertz is doing is

<script language="JavaScript">
document.cookie="cookieson=yes";
if (document.cookie.indexOf("cookieson=yes") == -1)
{
        document.location="/cookiemessage.html";
}

and I get redirected to that page, making the site unusable.

Should be fixed in 3.2 final

I'm suddenly seeing this problem again at washingtonpost.com. I've attached what I believe to be the problem code.
