Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Metaserver errors
I changed the settings list sent to the metaserver, but I doubt it can cause troubles in the metaserver (patch #2092). Else, there is still problems when the metaserver strings contains characters like '\' or '', there are no escapes, and the server list cannot be interpreted by the clients.

Metaserver has been reporting some suspicious errors. Please let me know if you are doing some modifications to the Freeciv code that may explain this, so I know this is not attack against metaserver. I can also provide those error messages to help find problems in your code. - ML ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Metaserver errors
I don't know what is a GET variable list. Please check server/meta.c on trunk, or http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv/trunk/server/meta.c?r1=18294r2=18293pathrev=18294 I may have missed a fc_url_encode() in meta_insert_setting(). That's probably the problem?

Are they sent as GET variables? At least some errors are related to overlong GET variable list... - ML ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Metaserver errors
After some inspection it is obvious that this is not caused by Freeciv, but by some spambot. From some URL it has found out that metaserver takes server_port variable and now it tries to send its spam message as value to that variable hoping that it would get somehow published. This is not a critical problem (as spam messages are not getting through) but quite a nuisance anyway. - ML ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
