Synopsis: I am trying to use a CGI/1.1 webserver to serve fossil repositories. The pages do not display properly. Via 'view source' from the browser, I see the extra word "index" inserted into paths.
---
Long version:
Per the synopsis, fossil pages are not display properly
with the webserver I am using. [FYI, httpd server included
in Erlang/OTP]
The script I am using, x.cgi, contains
#!/usr/local/bin/fossil
repository: /home/fossil/repositories/erlview.fossil.old
I have run the same script from a different webserver which
displays as expected.
I did a 'view source' from the browser in both cases.
The difference between the two generated html is that
for the incorrectly displayed page, all 'href' and 'img src'
links contain the word "index" between the script name and
the next word (e.g. style.css, home, logo, etc.).
e.g.
GOOD html
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed"
href="https://delora.autosys.us/cgi/x.cgi/timeline.rss";>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://delora.autosys.us/cgi/x.cgi/style.css";
type="text/css" media="screen">
BAD html
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed"
href="http://delora.autosys.us:9999/cgi/x.cgi/index/timeline.rss";>
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://delora.autosys.us:9999/cgi/x.cgi/index/style.css"; type="text/css"
media="screen">
Of course, with the word "index" in there, the path for the style sheet
is incorrect hence the poorly displayed page. This is for the "home"
page. If I click on one of the links, then that name also gets
inserted into the path. So, where the proper path should have been
/cgi/x.cgi/brlist it would be /cgi/x.cgi/index/brlist
Here are the CGI environment variables created by the webserver for
which the BAD html is generated:
[{"SERVER_SOFTWARE","inets/develop"},
{"SERVER_NAME","delora"},
{"GATEWAY_INTERFACE","CGI/1.1"},
{"SERVER_PROTOCOL","HTTP/1.1"},
{"SERVER_PORT","9999"},
{"REQUEST_METHOD","GET"},
{"REMOTE_ADDR","0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:7F00:1"},
{"SCRIPT_NAME","/cgi/x.cgi"},
{"HTTP_HOST","delora.autosys.us:9999"},
{"HTTP_USER_AGENT",
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815
Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.15"},
{"HTTP_ACCEPT",
"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"},
{"HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE","en,es;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,es-es;q=0.3"},
{"HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING","gzip,deflate"},
{"HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET","ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"},
{"HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE","300"},
{"HTTP_CONNECTION","keep-alive"},
{"QUERY_STRING",[]}]
Could it be the case that one of the above variables is causing fossil
to insert the spurious "index" (or tag names) in paths ? Or perhaps
there is a CGI variable missing ?
I have attached the 'view source' html files good.html and bad.html
in case anyone would like to see the entire files. They are from
the "home" page when first executing the x.cgi script.
I can change or add CGI environment variables to the webserver if
that is the solution.
Maybe I have uncovered an obscure bug in fossil.
Any suggestions (other than "use a different webserver") are welcome.
