It's great that you're looking at things from this perspective Ruth.
As a generality my guess is that yes, chances are you'll run into a
number of small issues like this that people have just used
workarounds for instead of fixing them.
And yes, it needs to be fixed (as has been discussed). In fact, I
thought it HAD been fixed, but I guess not...

Hi BJ:
Thanks - I saw the issue. Is there a better way to get things like
this fixed? Better yet, not have them enter into the system in the
first place? My concern - and it should be everyone's concern who
cares about this project - is this is our main touch point with the
outside world. Someone downloads the nightly version and right off
the bat - it doesn't work. I'm not talking about something deep down
inside the bowels of the code base, I'm talking about page one.
From a marketing/sales point of view this is worse than nothing at
all.
Just my 2 cents.

FYI -
I just downloaded and started up the today's nightly download
package
using the README instructions - and I couldn't login to Webtools.
Please see attached. Hate to beat a dead horse - but this stuff
should
work according to the README file - at a minimum, for the nightly
download. What gives? IMHO - Better not to have a nightly download
than
to provide one that doesn't work as advertised.
Regards,
Ruth
