#1078 new Defect

When adding a project, using an account manager URL does not halt gracefully.

Reported by: JacobKlein Owned by: romw
Priority: Minor Milestone: Undetermined
Component: Manager Version: 6.10.58
Keywords: Add Project Account Manager URL Cc: Jacob_W_Klein@…

Description

Tools -> Add project or account manager... -> Add project -> Paste a project URL like http://bam.boincstats.com/ -> Next -> Identify account -> Receive the following error:

Failed to add project
An error has occured;
check the Event Log for details.
Click Finish to close.

Event log says:
3/31/2011 !12:31:10 PM |  | Fetching configuration file from http://bam.boincstats.com/get_project_config.php
3/31/2011 !12:31:45 PM |  | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
3/31/2011 !12:31:48 PM |  | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

I propose this:

When the user is in "add project" mode, and first contact with the URL indicates that it is not capable of serving as a "project", the wizard should stop. It should not try to add it as an account manager. I should not have even gotten to the Username and password prompts.
