Description Sander Hoentjen 2017-05-08 09:04:32 UTC 
At work we use HipChat to communicate. I would like to use Gnome Web (Application) for this. Now for some reason login in to HipChat never works from Epiphany. Now at some point I found out that if I open up a seperate tab in Epiphany and I request the URL https://likeabosh.hipchat.com/http-bind/ there, then in the other tab the login completes and I can use HipChat as normal.

I have no idea what can be causing this, but am willing to provide any additional needed info.

I tried both epiphany-3.22.7-1.fc25.x86_64 and epiphany-3.24.1-1.fc26.x86_64 with the same results.

Does it work in MiniBrowser? Please install webkitgtk4-devel and try running /usr/libexec/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser.
Comment 2 Sander Hoentjen 2017-05-08 18:17:15 UTC 
MiniBrowser behaves the same (it doesn't work).
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2017-05-08 20:02:32 UTC 
OK, let's move this to WebKit Bugzilla then. Note this issue is much more likely to get solved if you're able to get the HipChat developers to participate in the bug report.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
This issue is most likely a bug in WebKit. Please report the bug to https://bugs.webkit.org/ including a link to this bug report and noting the version of WebKitGTK+ that you have installed. When reporting the WebKit bug, be sure to include the prefix '[GTK]' in the bug summary and select the 'WebKit Gtk' component.

(Commenting here because I don't have an account on WebKit Bugzilla)

HipChat uses a subdomain for corporate accounts – the web app is at mycompany.hipchat.com for example.

I suspect the reason Safari works but Web doesn't might be that Safari treats mycompany.hipchat.com and hipchat.com as the same origin, whereas Web doesn't.
