elFinder hardcoded secure cookie silently breaks HTTP writes
elFinder file manager hardcodes the Secure cookie flag in its session configuration, causing all write operations (mkdir, upload, delete, rename) to silently fail when accessed over plain HTTP. Browsers refuse to send the Secure-flagged session cookie over non-TLS connections, so every write request arrives without a valid session and fails CSRF validation. Self-hosted and LAN deployments running HTTP are completely broken with no configuration workaround.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallySession Cookies Missing From Server Response During Chunked File Upload
A developer implementing chunked file uploads expects the server to set a cookie on the first chunk so subsequent chunks route to the same backend pod, but the response cookie isn't being returned despite cookie handling being enabled client-side. This points to a gap in debugging tools for sticky-session routing issues in chunked upload flows.
File Browser Address Bar Does Not Support Manual Path Entry for SFTP Navigation
File browser interfaces without manual address bar input force users to click through deep directory trees, creating significant friction for SFTP workflows. Power users transferring files to deeply nested remote paths spend excessive time navigating rather than working. A simple text-input path field would resolve the issue with minimal engineering effort.
Selenium Network Tab Data Missing When Using HasAuthentication for Windows Security Prompts
A QA engineer testing a staging site behind a Windows security popup finds that enabling Selenium's HasAuthentication handling removes request details like remote address, cookies, and content length from the browser network tab, and causes file upload requests to fail with a broken transport connection. Manually dismissing the popup instead preserves normal network visibility, leaving the interaction between automated authentication handling and browser instrumentation unclear.
Notion offline sync silently reverts edits on reconnect
Edits made in Notion while offline appear to save locally but are silently overwritten when the app reconnects to the network. Users discover lost work only after the fact, with no conflict resolution prompt or version history alert. This silent data loss undermines trust in the tool for any workflow requiring offline access.
Streaming Server Needs RTSPS Encrypted Output
Streaming server lacks RTSPS encrypted output for insecure local networks. Password-only RTSP is insufficient.
