Hi, awhile ago I had a problem where all the pages I tried to save were called index.pl.html, which was caused by an old mozilla bookmark, using www.perlmonks.com instead of perlmonks.org. Well today, it reared it's head again, in Process a HTML file to get information from it. . In the reply by Popcorn Dave , at Re: Process a HTML file to get information from it., he has a node link labeled 'this', which is a url to www.perlmonks.com. When I open that link in a new Mozilla browser window, I find that I am suddenly logged out, while on that page. I was tempted to post a test reponse to see if I was anonymous or zentara, but I figured I would ask here instead.

Isn't there someway to automatically handle this, so I don't get log in page? Is this just a Mozilla problem? I'm using Mozilla 1.17.11.

    you're not logged out, you're on a different domain, and your session cookie is only valid for perlmonks.org.
    i don't know what's the reason for having several domains doing the same thing.

    what you can do is log on to perlmonks.org, perlmonks.com, www.perlmonks.org and www.perlmonks.com and always check the "remember me" box.

      and www.perlmonks.net and perlmonks.net.

    The problem is that the author of that node wrote bad hyperlinks, and not just because "this" is perhaps the least useful hyperlink title ever. Using the [id:// node_id ] syntax works correctly.

    My fault, I apologize. That node has been corrected.
