Description Brian de Alwis

2011-09-27 15:08:23 EDT

I'm trying to log in to update some wiki pages on wiki.eclipse.org.  I get redirected to https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/ to login with my Bugzilla ID, but the login fails.  My details are correct  — after all, I'm able to log in to Bugzilla to enter this bug :)

My password does have a backslash "\" in it.  My previous password had an apostrophe ' 

I've tried this with Google Chrome and Firefox on MacOS X, and Mobile Safari.

Switching to an all alphanumeric password works.

Ah, thanks for the great analysis.  Good old magic quotes.

I've fixed this -- can you confirm that slashes now work in the password?
