Anyone else tried this ? I seem to be able to login into everything else. T.

I had that problem a while ago, If I remember correctly, Android was sending "cookies:" and not "Cookies:" in the header.... so setting cookies via arc or js was great, reading them with js was also fine, but arc couldn't parse them from the header.

Nevermind. Looks like its a known issue. it appears logins don't work from web interface, rather one has to create an andriod app to handle the authentication to the page.

curious - does the browser not handle cookies, or do you know why this is an issue? Do you mean every web app that requires a login needs a custom app in order to be usable on an android? (I know nothing about android, count me a total noob)

ugh - I had thought it was the browser:

but I am not sure anymore. I can log into google docs and such, but google makes android so not sure what magic they make.

I only got the phone yesterday. And naturally I tried to see if any of my arc apps or the arc forum worked.

The webpages load great, it's only the login...hmmm guess I'll keep googlin :)

Looks like I was correct:

Google has bugs:
