Re: qutebrowser - A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5

I had the following user agent:

c.content.headers.user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0'

Reverting to the default one fixed this. (I chose to "advertise" myself as using Firefox to prop up the little guy, but it seems reCaptcha doesn't like this user agent)

It would have probably worked if you updated rv:31.0 to  rv:68.0. Firefox v31 would be from 2014, google might not like that.

Ha! Nice catch!
I don't remember how I ended up with a mismatched user agent… but it works now! Thanks!

Re: qutebrowser - A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5

Last night I commented on a bug report. This morning when I opened my laptop I pressed 'r' to see if there were any more comments. To my surprise it duplicated the comment. I didn't quite believe my eyes so I tried it again to be sure, and there popped a third copy of the comment. Has anyone else had that happen? Is that expected?

Website

Re: qutebrowser - A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5

That would likely happen in most browsers - it is mostly an issue with the website, not the browser as the page uses the same url for submitting comments as for viewing the bug (i.e., it doesn't redirect on accepting the POST data).  So when you refresh, if your browser resends the data, you just get a new comment.  It's generally considered good practice for web pages to *not* do this and rather use a different url for submission and presentation - or have some other guard against duplicate POSTs.  Some browsers may also warn about a refresh that would resend POST data - but it's not really the browser's job to do so.

Okay, makes sense. Now that I think of it firefox would probably have had a 'confirm resubmission' popup.
