[CHROME] Coursera.org assessment details page issues

When you try to load assessment details for a given course on coursera.org, the embedded frame that supposed to hold the details remains blank. It shows up again as soon as you deactivate HTTPS Everywhere extension and relaunch the browser.

I can't test this directly without a Coursera account, but the fact that a reload is required strongly suggests that this is a problem with part of the site not functioning if the cookies are secure. I'm therefore going to push 3.0.4 with the securecookie directive removed from the Coursera ruleset (this, by the way, is a dire security flaw that Coursera needs to fix on their end).

There's a chance that the problem with the ruleset is deeper, though, in which case 3.0.4 won't fix it.

I'm going to close this. Please reopen if the securecookie fix was insufficient.

I do confirm that the problem is still present. And still the only solution is to disable HTTPS Everywhere [Chrome] extension.

OK, I've disabled the ruleset in git, so it should be fixed in forthcoming releases. In the mean time, you can disable it manually from the toolbar menu.

For some reasons disabling it from the menu doesn't help (in fact, I've even tried to edit manually default.rulesets file and completely remove Coursera's ruleset – with the same negative result). However, disabling the extension completely does help; take a look at this two screenshots:

1. disabled from the toolbar menu: http://yadi.sk/d/P4cuczR61cx-T
2. disabled completely: http://yadi.sk/d/ix96mJBy1cx-H

(I also confirm that a "redesign of Coursera's platform" message has nothing to do with this particular problem, I've faced the same exact situation earlier, too.)

Can you see if this problem is persisting with the 2013.1.18 release?

Closing unless someone reports that this is continuing to occur with the 2013.1.18 chrome release.
