Description Ismail Donmez 2009-03-31 08:36:57 PDT
How to reproduce;

- Add some upcoming events in your Google calendar
- Enable Google calendar widget in GMail Lab settings

Expected behaviour:

Calendar widget shows upcoming events.

Current behaviour:

Upcoming event list is empty.


Used to work in older WebKit revisions (Safari 4 Beta works fine), so this is a regression.

This regressed between the r41545 and r41698 nightlies. I'll try to find the exact point of regression by bisecting local builds.
Comment 2 Cameron Zwarich (cpst) 2009-03-31 11:07:53 PDT
This regressed in r41547:

This is probably not our bug, so I'll put it in the Evangelism component.
Comment 3 Cameron Zwarich (cpst) 2009-03-31 11:10:27 PDT
You can see the console spam from attempts to set headers that are no longer allowed by the XHR spec.
Comment 4 Cameron Zwarich (cpst) 2009-03-31 11:58:45 PDT
Marking this P2 because it's an evangelism bug.
Comment 6 Alexey Proskuryakov 2009-03-31 14:28:14 PDT
I am not aware of any real reason to block the Authorization header, other than following the spec. Anne, are you?

Undoing this part of the change may be a better solution than evangelizing Google.

So far, there seems to be no resistance to the idea of removing Authorization from the list of forbidden headers on public-webapps mailing list.

Fix looks good to me.

Please verify that this actually fixes the calendar widget - I don't use it, so I didn't attempt to.

Verified.
