Hi all. A while back I posted a similar problem. My error logs have frequent entries showing erroneous redirect strings, like this: [Tue Nov 7 08:57:45 2000] [error] [client 90.14.50.41] Invalid error redirection directive: üØ@ Sometimes *most* of the redirect is fine; I found one where nothing was garbled but the protocol -- instead of "https" it had several binary characters, but from the :// on the address was fine. Here's one: [Tue Nov 7 09:05:56 2000] [error] [client 96.80.9.46] Invalid error redirection »xs://buda.bst.bls.com/dres/dres.cgi What would cause that? It's a secure intranet, btw -- you have to be inside the company firewall to hit it. That "s" is probably valid -- it's an Perl*Handler in mod_perl that's checking requests, and routing those to restricted parts of the server to the secure protocol. It was easier than wading through the mod_rewrite docs. ~sheepish grin~ Still, it's a simple handler, and works other than this occasional glitch. In the hopes that I'm not providing too *much* info, here's the handler code (minimally edited): #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # module for Apache/mod_perl PerlPostReadRequestHandler to redirect # users on the nonsecure port over to SSL (hopefully saving bookmarks) #______________________________________________________________________ package Apache::PortCorrect; use strict; use Apache::Constants qw( :response :methods ); sub handler { my($r,$s,$url,$args,$uri,$subr); $r = shift; # the request object return OK if 443 == $r->get_server_port; (undef,$url,undef) = split(/\s+/o, $r->the_request); return OK if $url =~ m{ ^(?:/ # allow home | .*[.](?:gif|jpg) # graphics ok | /(?:list|of|open|dirs).* # inefficient... | /(?:home|cook)[.]shtml # special cases )$ }ixo; $uri = "https://buda.bst.bls.com" . $url; $uri .= "?$args" if $args = $r->args; $r->custom_response(MOVED,$uri); return MOVED; } 1; # guarantee return code for load #______________________________________________________________________ Also, I'm still having *constant* segfaults for no reason I can tell: [Tue Nov 7 09:03:41 2000] [notice] child pid 8201 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:05:56 2000] [error] [client 96.80.9.46] Invalid error redirection »xs://buda.bst.bls.com/dres/dres.cgi [Tue Nov 7 09:06:23 2000] [notice] child pid 2176 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:06:27 2000] [notice] child pid 13445 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:06:39 2000] [notice] child pid 16884 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:10:15 2000] [error] [client 90.17.208.181] Invalid error redirection directive: [Tue Nov 7 09:11:23 2000] [notice] child pid 8158 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:15:33 2000] [notice] child pid 18409 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:15:33 2000] [notice] child pid 17990 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:15:57 2000] [notice] child pid 27829 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:15:59 2000] [notice] child pid 18001 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:16:01 2000] [notice] child pid 18817 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:24:33 2000] [notice] child pid 17962 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:24:35 2000] [notice] child pid 16004 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:24:38 2000] [notice] child pid 18008 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:26:46 2000] [notice] child pid 17928 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:26:59 2000] [notice] child pid 17993 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:42:34 2000] [notice] child pid 19186 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Tue Nov 7 09:42:42 2000] [notice] child pid 19187 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) The server is serving, but sometimes we get a string of timeouts or "document contained no data" errors (which I'm *assuming*....yeah, I know...are the results of segfaults.)
