wiki login: 403 forbidden

От

I tried the "Log in" button when looking at the page:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What%27s_new_in_PostgreSQL_9.3

and got a 403 Forbidden error (at the target URL
<https://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=What%27s+new+in+PostgreSQL+9.3>).
I'm able to reproduce this problem in a Chrome incognito window and in
Safari.

Trying the same Log in button from a handful of other wiki pages seems
to work OK, so it seems to be a problem with that page in particular.

Hah, I got that problem when I was working on that page, but always
assumed it was related to another issue with logins which has since been
resolved.

I'd bet it's got something to do with the decimal point/stop character not being
encoded; this version of the link works as expected:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=What%27s+new+in+PostgreSQL+9%2e3

correct - there is an open todo here, doing the login on pages with
characters that need to be url-encoded has various failure modes (the
above incarnation only being one variant of this).
I have done some investigation into fixing this but Im not done yet.
