Can't fix Attachment + login = weirdness

[Caelum]

Yeah, pretty much. Login pages don't work properly when brought to the login screen from an attachment.

To reproduce:

• Log out
• Go to http://xenforo.com/community/threads/test.19325/
• Click the attachment and try to download it. It'll tell you to log in
• Log in

It downloads the attachment and logs you in just fine, but then refuses to actually give any confirmation of login. It just keeps stuck on the login page, without showing any sign you're actually logged in. If you try to hit the login button again, it just downloads the file again.

The redirect is just missing

The redirect is there, but it redirects to the file to be downloaded, so the browser downloads the file and leaves the page as it is...

It would just download the attachment again...

Unfortunately not much we can do about this.
