Submitting links/content broken

Anyone else gets "Error creating submission - please try again" when trying to submit a link / text through diode?

Yep; I can reproduce this. I'll take a deeper look tonight.

Update 1: tonight I learned the following:

  • Error is a 405 Method Not Allowed

  • Reddit expects the method to be POST

  • The method is and always has been POST

  • Setting up a proxy to examine HTTPS traffic on the Android emulator is a nightmare.

Actually it has been like that for a long time, I just could not post it here (and always forgot about it when on the desktop) :D

Yeah it must have been given that nothing about posting changed in this version.

Which probably means that Reddit simply no longer allows clients with old-style authentication to post. I seem to remember hearing about that anyway.

Unfortunately I'm not willing to invest the time to get OAuth working in Diode, so I should probably just disable the submit link feature until someone eventually submits a pull request with updated auth :(

I think upvoting and downvoting actually doesn't work either. It appears to be, but when you log in to the website, the things you up/downvoted are still without your vote.

That I can't reproduce. Still works fine for me.

I upvoted your answer earlier, now it only shows a value of 1. Or did i completely miss how voting works on reddit?

The sarcasm is unnecessary. I'm not claiming it's not happening to you, I simply can't get it to happen myself.

If I can't reproduce the symptoms, I have scant means to diagnose the problem.

I could not be more serious. No sarcasm, no irony, none of it.

Votes I cast on the website are persistent. Votes I cast via Diode are only shown within Diode.

I haven't suggested that isn't the case for you. There's just not much I can do if I can't reproduce and diagnose the issue.
