I think I've figured out what's behind the problems with links from administration pages that some users have reported [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103&func=detail&aid=214037 and http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103&func=detail&aid=452200]. For an example of the problem, see http://javamlm.mills.edu/mailman/admin/test/ and try following any link.
I am using aolserver 3.2, which seems to set nonstandard values for the environment variables SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO. When I do a GET on "http://javamlm.mills.edu/mailman/admin/test";, the values are: SCRIPT_NAME: /mailman/admin/test PATH_INFO: /test When Utils.ScriptURL concatenates these, the result is the bogus fullpath "/mailman/admin/test/test", which leads to the bogus relative path "../../../admin". Workarounds: - Use a behaving web server - Use absolute URLs [which would probably break something else], e.g., - change MailList.GetScriptURL - change Utils.ScriptURL - Have a special case for noncompliant web servers - require a flag for aolserver users - infer that something's wrong if SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO end in the same string I'd be happy to code a patch but could use advice on the best way to proceed without breaking something else (or perhaps people don't care about supporting aolserver). I've also sent a query to the aolserver discussion list asking whether the behavior is a bug or a feature.
