Hi,

I noticed something, when playing with MITMproxy.  
When I want to connect to my gmail account (of course, through MITMproxy), I get the following error:  
“Oops! Your browser seems to have cookies disabed”…

![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mitmproxy1/original/1X/2f7c3fb819065ec438c08a829ac6eac74f0be2dd.jpg)

Does anyone know why? Also, is there any way to fix this?

(of course, cookies are enabled on my Firefox browser. I only get this error msg when connecting through mitmproxy)

Thanks,

Tux 😕

No clues?

Has this ever happened to anyone? Perhaps the answer is so obvious, I should already be aware of it?  
Or maybe this could be a bug?

Bumpy-dump bump bump!

Nobody has a hint for me?  
It’s weird because… I can connect to hotmail without any problem, but not on gmail.  
What’s going on?

Works just fine for me:

I’m on 0.17 here.  
I got this problem on [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) though.  
I guess it’s pretty much the same as connecting directly to the [google.com](http://google.com) account?

EDIT: Yes indeed, it’s exactly the same: “[accounts.google.com](http://accounts.google.com)”.  
I tried once again, and same error.

Maximilian are you on 0.17 or 0.18? Or maybe 0.25 in your case, since you may have a dev version 😉

I’m on 0.18/master, which works fine. I can reproduce it on 0.17 though, but it seems to be fixed already.

I’m using the version given on Docker here:  
[https://hub.docker.com/r/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/](https://hub.docker.com/r/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/)

But I guess it’s still 0.17?

Well, it wasn’t very clear if the DEV version available here:  
[https://hub.docker.com/r/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/tags/](https://hub.docker.com/r/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/tags/)  
would be 0.18 or not.

But it shows that it has been updated like 10 hours ago, so I took a chance to pull the latest DEV version from the repository, and run:  
`mitmproxy --version`

The result is:  
`mitmproxy 0.18`

Great! Now I was able to try again, with gmail, and guess what?  
It works! **The problem is officially fixed, since 0.18**.

Thanks Maximilian! 🙂
