CKAN: Ticket #1553: Upload handles non-logged in user badly

This is now ameliorated in thedatahub.org by requiring login to do any edits. But the bug may be an issue for other sites that want more open settings.

I think this is caused by the javascript xhr call getting redirected (quietly) to the login page, so the original javascript can't complete as it has a login form rather than the auth form it is looking for.

Maybe we should change the JS to realise that it is at the login page and do something different than pretend to still be uploading?

@ross: this is indeed the issue (and I explained this to dread but failed to note here). I suggested this was a limited problem as most sites would not allow anonymous editing (which is where this occurs). However, it is a UX bug for that situation.

Aron, can I assign this to you for when you do the JS based uploading on demo site/new UI?

Ross, I think you just did :) I'll make sure the new form takes this into account.
