Opera Cookie Problems

I've been having cookie troubles with the lastest Opera 10 Build (the one with Turbo).

It wont save any cookies at all for my site. I don't have a domain name (the sites for personal use only), so i have to access it using my IP address. I've tried reinstalling it and trying it on another computer. The older release doesn't have any problems.

Same issue on my end. I logged on for this site, made sure that Opera keeps the cookies when it closes and when I opened Opera again, I had to log on again, while I ticked the "remember me" checkbox. There are a lot of other sites that I have the same issue with. After a few tries, it remembers it, but when you log on, make sure it saves them, then close Opera soon after, it will forget it's cookies.

Maybe my problem is with Linux' Ext4 system, where files aren't written directly and Opera opens an older version of the cookies file. But I also had it when restarting Opera after more than 5 minutes, after which I was certain the file was synced to disk.

And a crash of the browser also seems to trigger a 'forget cookies' switch.

Been having the same problems with the last couple of snapshots on alot of the sites that I visit, including igoogle and the opera forums. Sometimes disabling turbo and reloading works, but not always. This is is on a Windows XP machine.

I am also having problems logging in. I opened this thread from Opera 9.64 and then opened the page in Opera 10 and I was apparently logged in, but on backing out to the Beta forum index, I was no longer logged in, and I was not able to post this message from Opera 10. That is going to make it difficult to test and report problems at the same time.

I believe that the cookie issues are related the Turbo feature. I was just having this issue today and noticed that the graphics on the page were highly compressed, meaning it was using Turbo mode. So, I turned off Turbo and everything began working normally.

EDIT: I submitted a bug report: DSK-253164

That would explain why it happens on my Laptop, which had Turbo enabled, and doesn't happen on my PC, which I have it disabled.
Turbo isn't perfect, as I have a fast internet connection (20+ Mbps) and it still comes up with a blue exclamation mark indicating Turbo can speed things up. Sure, it can always speed things up by compressing the whole page, but that isn't how it's supposed to work. I wonder how Turbo indicates it should be enabled or not. Just by sheer loading time of the website is a bad idea, because you have several variables to keep in mind when doing that, like the responsiveness of the webserver you're connecting to, the upload speed of said server, the route that is taken by the packages, etc.

I guess that it's basiclly a somewhat proxy problem. When you check your ip with Opera Turbo turned on on some externall website, it's different than what you actually have.
Having Turbo setting on/off for websites (ie default on, for this website off), would certainly help with that issue. Or even detecting and turning off for website that have login fields user is using.

That also works for me. I can log in now that Turbo Mode is turned off.

I've had problems with Godaddy.com lately. I'm sure it is some of their changes but they claim to work with Opera.
They sent me an email with a long list of things to do. One was to use this tool to show cookie and JavaScript status:
http://sites.securepaynet.net/troubleshooter/default.aspx

Here is the result in various builds:
Build 10487 1345 1497
Cookie Test Pass Fail Fail
JavaScript Pass Fail Fail
I know this can't be right because both cookies and JavaScript are enabled.
I have Turbo DISABLED since I have a very fast link.
Anyone have an explanation? What has changed in Opera 10 that would affect such a test? It the tool, itself broken?

Using Ubuntu Jaunty Ext4 on two machines;
also Windowsw XP Pro and XP Home as dual boot on each machine.
Basically, I've abandoned Opera 10 for anything requiring a login.
Decided this is a *bug.*

Since the download build 1551 won't hold the preferences for Google search. The cookie is being saved but it's not being used after you close and re-open the browser. Funny thing is I have the Turbo turned off and it's happening.

Experiencing this bug as well with many sites. If Turbo Mode is enabled, login will fail. Turn off Turbo Mode and all is fine.

Not all of us live in Sweden with fast internet connections

It's a brilliant feature when it works, just that it has a bug so please don't be naive in thinking we are whining or complaining, actually very greatful for Opera and Opera Turbo and hope these reports help in fixing the bug in a next release :smile:
