Guys,

I have a similar issue with redirects crashing the nsd 4.5.0, and I got a
quickie fix to prevent the crash.

Please check out this thread
http://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=471882

Of course, this does not fix the root cause (and apparently produces zombies),
but at least it makes nsd more stable.

Thanks,
~ Alex.

Ah, thanks for pointing to the OpenACS forum thread ... I think Nate

Can you try CVS HEAD ... see if it fixes the crash bug properly?

However, the bug I found was due to an API using a page level
global var, not sure exactly what you call this in C, but the API
was on another page.


Mine seems to be unrelated.  I did further checking and when
ns_returnredirect refers to -any- local URL it causes a segfault.
The relocated URL is passed back to the browser, but the server is
dead before it can load it.

What version, etc? I'm using 4.5.0a and I don't seem to have problem with 
ns_returnredirect.

Also maybe try telnetting in:

You could further test building up this response without using

A few things: 
 1. try this on a tcl page, not an adp.
 2. this is not a relative redirect, this is a full url redirect

 2. this is not a relative redirect, this is a full url redirect was a problem?)
 3. what is the $conn argument for?


As a registered tcl proc it works fine.

With further testing, both ns_return and ns_returnredirect within an
adp crash the server.   Normally ns_return would never be used with an
adp, but ns_returnredirect should be permitted.  As of 4.0.10 it was
working as expected.

The $conn parameter is an artifact from long ago.  It is/was the
connection id.  Even with it gone, it still crashes.

Ok, I just found this on the new docs

NOTE: The script does not end at the time this command is invoked.
ns_adp_abort or ns_adp_return should be called to end script
processing after ns_returnredirect

This does stop the crash but I would still consider it to be a bug.

The segfault is obviously a bug... I think what's being referring to is 
the behavior that allows code to continue executing after an

Re: [AOLSERVER] internal server redirects

2006-09-06 Thread Titi Ala'ilima
Sorry, I was narrowly viewing the question of whether the behavior of the 
redirect itself was a bug.  Since you can successfully call an abort command 
afterwards, it seems that the bug is not in the redirect itself, but how the 
mess gets cleaned up after the fact.  Namely, it seems, that ADP handler gets 
freaks out when you've already sent a fully formed response before it gets to 
do so, and nobody told it not to.  It's still a coding error not to inform the 
ADP that it needn't return a response, but crashing is of course an 
unacceptable result particularly for such a minor breach of protocol.

Internal redirects are those which don't send a response back to the client, 
the code justs changes the target url and runs the 'page' which is at that 
location. 

I haven't noticed (or looked for) any problems with ns_returnredirect. 

However, the bug I found was due to an API using a page level global var, not 
sure exactly what you call this in C, but the API was on another page. The two 
files involved were server.c (defined var) and return.c (tried to use it).  The 
result was the var was NULL, so the registering procedure didn't do anything. 

You could have a similar problem.


tom jackson

Here is what I changed:

return.c:

void
Ns_RegisterReturn2(NsServer *servPtr, int status, char *url)
{
Tcl_HashEntry *hPtr;
intnew;

if (servPtr != NULL) {
hPtr = Tcl_CreateHashEntry(servPtr-request.redirect,
   (char *) status, new);
if (!new) {
ns_free(Tcl_GetHashValue(hPtr));
}
if (url == NULL) {
Tcl_DeleteHashEntry(hPtr);
