I think I found a bug. I went to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ FreenodeCloaks page to check something and found that I needed to log in to edit that page but I was already logged into the wiki (I had been working on wiki sweep all week). I clicked on the "history" tab of that page and found that I was indeed logged in - according to the content at the upper right corner. I closed that tab in firefox, opened a new tab, manually typed in the address again and found that the upper right corner of the page showed that I needed to log in - but I was logged into the wiki the entire time. Is it normal for some pages to not recognize a currently logged in state?
It could be the difference between http:// and https:// . We try to set the session cookies to only return on https:// links -- otherwise someone could hijack your session by intercepting packets.
