[Bug 788158] Re: Oneiric: 404 page when trying to buy something

[Michael Nelson]

Hi kiwinote, the blank page that you linked to above is a 404 (if you
check the headers, or watch it with firebug) - we probably assumed
initially that the client would check the http response, but I'm
guessing you guys can't pick that up in the client as by that time
you've already gone into "wait for title-change event" mode (as there
could have been a login event prior also).

Anyway, we can easily update the 404 to display something human-
readable, as well as include any event you need to communicate to USC
that something went wrong (not that this should ever happen as the
client won't display un-purchasable apps any more).

Title:
  Oneiric: 404 page when trying to buy something

Status in Developer registration portal:
  Invalid
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  When I click the Buy button in Oneiric, I got asked for my SSO
  username and password.  Then after entering that, it brought me to a
  404 page on ubuntu.com (embedded in software-center).

  I tried again, on a different for-purchase app and this time did not
  get prompted for username/password (so must have been valid last time
  and saved), but still got the 404.
