disconnectme/disconnect — Issue #39: Can't login to StackOverflow
Author: garyjob
Created: 2011-12-21 04:25:19+00:00
State: open

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Chrome with Disconnect installed.
2. Go to stackoverflow.com.
3. Click "log in".
4. Try to log in using Google as the Open ID provider.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: See stackoverflow.com page where I'm logged in.
Instead: Chrome reports redirect loop

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Disconnect: 3.0.5
Chrome: 12.0.742.68 beta (older versions are affected too, I guess)
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.
Redirect loop of this type usually means that a cookie could not be set. However, I think I managed to isolate the problem and relate it to Disconnect by first trying to log into stackoverflow with Disconnect enabled and failing and then disabling Disconnect, restarting the browser and successfully logging in to stackoverflow. I guess this is another instance of a known issue - not being able to use Google Docs.
