Redirect to "Not Found" page when coming back

Fixed in the upcoming release for D5 and D6.

hi.

i'm using 1.4 and getting the same result:

loged in - fine, i then close the browser and open it again - this is where it takes me:
/%253Cfront%253E

page not found, though the log in is successful.

help please.

thanx.

It appears that the special <front> value is not being handled correctly, but I don't know where it would be coming from.

Do you have any modules installed that are causing a redirect on login? What module is rendering the page you are first visiting after re-opening the browser?
Any additional info on reproducing this bug would be appreciated.

I have this happening as well. It only happens when you've closed the browser and then directly visit a page that requires an authenticated session. For example, a link to http://www.warmshowers.org/users/mctigupm lands me on http://www.warmshowers.org/%253Cfront%253E, which is a 404, of course. The oddity here is that I have no reason to go anywhere near <front>.

AHA! There was a rule that was redirecting to on login (using Rules module). It works fine *except* when the login is via persistent_login. So I think this can be recreated by:

1. Create a rule that redirects to on login
2. Enable persistent_login
3. Close browser
4. Visit a direct link to the site.

I guess I didn't actually understand that the persistent_login was actually a login-based module, rather than a session-based module...

Closing out Drupal 6.x issues. Please re-open against 8.x or 7.x if this is still relevant.
