Ask HN: logging into News.YC on android?
I can only remember two times that I've been able to log into HN from my android browser. Has anyone had more luck with this? Seems like cookies generally work in the android browser so I can't figure this out. Any pointers?
- bockris 17y agoI have never been able to log into HN from my G1, so I'm interested in the answer.
- cperciva 17y agoI've managed to do this via Opera. It's not a solution I like -- I much prefer the built-in web browser -- but it seems to work.
- mbrubeck 17y agoI assume it's because HN sends the Set-Cookie header as part of an HTTP 302 redirect and expects the cookie to appear in the redirected request. Apparently this is against the HTTP spec, and won't work in certain browsers: http://www.persistall.com/archive/2008/01/25/cookies--redirects--nightmares.aspx http://www.persistall.com/archive/2008/01/25/cookies--redire...
