>Description:
I reinstalled my Gnats 4 and installed the latest Gnatsweb, with Dirk's patch. Then I set up a test database, using a different database name than the old setup I had.

Now, the old cookie stored in my web browser causes it to attempt to log into the no longer existing database. I get a 417 error, saying that the old database doesn't exist. There is no way to get to the login screen of Gnatsweb in order to log into the new database.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Make Gnatsweb redirect the user to the login screen when this error occurs.
