Title: can't report bugs at Launchpad
Post by: brynn on August 18, 2013, 08:38:00 PM

Hi Friends,
I was trying to report what I think is a just a minor Inkscape bug at Launchpad, but it keeps giving me some error message about "referrer headings".  The error message gives me a link to a non-existant mozilla page for a Firefox add-on.  I can't find any info at Launchpad about this, at least not that I can understand.

I've lost the error message, as well as the bug report I was trying to post.  But this is a page that was linked to the error message:  https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faq/1024.

It also references this Wikipedia entry:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery, which gives examples that I can't see how they apply to Launchpad or Inkscape.  I'm not trying to upload a file, post an image or even a link.  Just a simple text only bug report.

So I'm hoping someone can explain it in some generalized way, so I can do whatever I need to do, to be able to report a bug.

I found this Firefox add-on:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/referrer-control/?src=ss.  Is that what I need?

Thanks for your help :)
