Because of users can't log in to a site (inclusive the Drupal 7 beta 4 demo site) using the username@www.drupal.org format (the username@drupal.org works) and pings to http://www.drupal.org/xmlrpc.php fail (but to http://drupal.org/xmlrpc.php not) cut off "www." from the module (code and help texts).

Also add to the documentation that drupal.module log in feature doesn't work if "Visitors can create accounts and no administrator approval is required." is not set in admin/user/configure.

This is not critical. Setting to normal.

it's normal and not a Drupal problem per se.

I submited this bug because of you guys (I corrected it on my side). If a non-programmer user enables the drupal.module that will not work. and he/she will disable it, certainly. So, you got a black point from he/she.

But, be as you say: "not a Drupal problem, persze, a nagy francot nem az". (You can but me out of here, if you want)

Guide your tongue. Foul language is not accepted on this site, not even in Hungarian (and yes, I understand what you say but I guess you knew that I will). Next time you cross line, you are banned from here. BTW. "per se" is latin.

I still think that there is nothng to fix in the Drupal code base but Drupal.org settings may need some tweaking.

@chx:
I do think it's a drupal problem and not drupal.org
As vrencianz mentioned there's some bug when you enable drupal.module without changing the path in settings.
All drupal is parsed wih www.drupal.org weblinks. There's no problem having these as browser will follow the redirect without noticing it. But XML-RPC won't and generate a warning in watchdog, so I think it worth moving it back to drupal.module and make a little patch to change the default setting.

This is a critical issue because as it currently stands, we are about to ship 4.7 with a drupal.module that does not work.

Since I started with drupal, the site has always been drupal.org, not www.drupal.org.

Therefore, this patch changes the drupal.module to point everything to drupal.org, not www.drupal.org.

I agree that there is also a site configuration issue, where we should have www.drupal.org and drupal.org synonymous. But currently we use drupal.org, so let's use that in the code.

@jvandyk :
should we go further and change all www.drupal.org that appears in drupal to drupal.org ?
This is not the place for such patch, but I think it worth it.

That's what my patch does.

Sorry for the recategorization; our submissions overlapped.

It is not the only one bug which I sent to you guys. What I sent are ugly, evident bugs. Before they are tested, I get strange (I don't want to say stupid) responses: 1) status changes 2) questions about error messages 3) nothing. Today I fight with an other ugly bug, is my opinion, bug (books module), and, of course...

But now I'm happy: I'm not hallucinating.

PS: Put a status there in your project module named 'can not reproduce'. If you change the module status to 'can not reproduce' the user WILL BE SURE that you tested their submitted bug. In this case he will check their installation and he will not be frustrated.

I was thinking in something more global like this patch ;)
