>Number: 4944 >Category: mod_jserv >Synopsis: Parsing date header from servlet request >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: jserv >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Wed Sep 1 05:20:00 PDT 1999 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: Apache 1.3.3, JServ 0.9.11 >Environment: AIX, JDK 1.1.6 >Description: If the browser sends a date header "If-Modified-Since" the SimpleDateFormat.parse(String) function throws a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException which is not catched in JServConnection.getDateHeader(String). Maybe it is a problem of Java 1.1.6 The result is an internal server error 500.
