[Seaside-dev] Re: Enabling cookies causes callback links to incorrectly redirect in Firefox

[Lukas Renggli]

Somehow similar (and not adressed by my fix) is that Chrome is doing
"random" GET requests when you type an URL to provide auto-completion.
I assume that this is less likely to hit a Seaside callback, but we
should still pay attention.
