Difference between NN and IE
Hi, Why is it Netscape displays the pop up authenticate window when the user enters the wrong password. But Internet Explorer displays my 401.html page if I return an AUTH_REQUIRED; from my AuthAny.pm handler? If I click on the pop up window cancel in Netscape then it will display the 401.html page. With Explorer the user actually has to close all Explorer Windows and start it again to get another attempt at logging in. regards and thanks in advance Scott

Have you looked at the HTTP headers? Yes, nothing at all fishy. I think I may have corrected things, although I haven't been testing long enough to tell for sure. I tracked things down to a PerlHeaderParserHandler that I'm using to manage sessions. Under some conditions, it wasn't returning a return code. I fixed that, and the problem appears to have gone away. I say 'appears' because I can't definitively say I've fixed a problem that I don't even understand. thanks, Ged! cheers, Todd

I think this is what you're doing wrong: We have Solaris 2.5 perl 5.6 apache 1.3.6 mod_perl1.24 :) Grab yourself the latest of everything (Apache is now up to 1.3.17 and you might need patches for that OS!) and look in the archives of this List for the things people have done to compile on Solaris. Create new directory source trees for example: /export/home/apache_1.3.17 /export/home/mod_perl-1.25 and run 'perl Makefile.PL' from within the /export/home/mod_perl-1.25 directory. Don't forget to build everything (including Perl) with the same compiler. gcc is recommended but I think you can do it with others. You might need to mess around with compiler flags. You could have helped yourself by reading .../mod_perl-x.xx/SUPPORT which mentions the Guide: http://perl/apache.org/guide. It's a lot of reading but well worth it. 73, Ged.

Re: Apache::ASP, SSL problems ... must be LWP ...
Hey guys, thanks for nothing ... this is the second reply to my own email :( Anyway, I contacted the site with which we were having problems and they went through their logs only to discover that the only difference between LWP https calls that were successful and those that failed was the return code!!! When I ran the local web script (that contacted the remote https web server) under https then the request would come back 403.5. When I ran it under http then it would come back 200. It appears, although LWP knows it's doing a https call and it successfully connects, the SSL cipher it used was not 128-bit or was corrupted. Now think, why would the mode of the server on which the process is running bear an effect on the outcome of the connection miles away? I'm guessing there's a conflict of interest ... Stronghold is tapping the SSL library (I can find out which one if people are interested in helping, ah-hem) and when LWP is trying to form a 128-bit cipher it's getting some junk or errors. Go figure. Ok guys, I did most of the investigation work, anyone out there who has seen this before? Is Joshua out sick or something ;) Thanks, Demetrios My original message follows, useful now that I also cross-posted to libwww. Please note that my problem described above has temporarily subsided after installing Apache::ASP 2.09 (from 2.03). Given though that the problem appeared all of the sudden without any "cause", I am not so sure this is going to fly either. Perhaps resetting the server cleared some junk. Hello all, I am running A::A 2.03 on a Solaris 2.6 box with Stronghold 2.4.2, whatever. The truth is I doubt the rest matters ... I am running a pretty cool web app where fields are collected, validated and then appropriate action is taken, one of which is to make an HTTP call (LWP) to a third-party site and exchange some info, register, blah-blah-blah. To the point: when I use http for everything, the session variables work fine and everything works perfectly, as it's coded to do. The moment I try to take everything under https (since some of the information is personal and of financial nature) things work intermittently. I have it down to a script of what things you can do and what you cannot. There is no logic behind having to enter everything the first time around (the script is self-posting, self-validating) in order to get the proper outcome. At some point I started to dump the Session variables to see what's in them and found data from _OTHER_ sessions! Argh! No, this has nothing to do with perl's closure issue ... all functions come from .pm's and there is no problem with function calls. I am at wits end ... I just went through all this in the last couple of days and just bothered to check for a newer version of Apache::ASP. I will try to upgrade soon to see if that does anything but I was hoping someone might have seen this problem before where SSL session information did not work as well as it should. Did I mention this?: under https, calls to some remote server would intermit. fail and give back a 403 - Access Forbidden ... what the heck? This function merely took data from the session and passed it as parameters ... what sort of influence would which port the server was running on have on the HTTP req. being made and/or on the remote server's ability to process the request?!?!?! Oh well, hope someone out there can help out. Thanks in advance. Demetrios

I upgraded to 2.09 and things are working fine now ... if things stop working again I'll be paying Joshua a visit! (just kidding, we love you JC). Still, if anyone can think of why all of the sudden adding SSL to the ASP/Sessions equation would make things get all screwed up I'd like to hear it. This problem doesn't really make much sense to me. The SSL transport layer SHOULD be independent of the mod_perl layer that Apache::ASP resides in. I imagine that there could have been something funny with the browser behavior, but not to share sessions' data. Also, I looked at the change log between 2.03 2.09, didn't see anything that would indicate a fix to this problem. I know there was a lot of work done on the Sessions implementation, as well as random session-id generation, but I didn't know of any bugs with what was there before in this regards. -- Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

[JOB SEEKER]: Me
My current contract is winding down and rather than rotting away at home I think I should try to get some sort of job. I know Perl and mod_perl very well, and Mason even better. I'd love to work on something large scale, and it goes without saying that I want to do Perl. I live in Minnesota but I won't be there much until mid-April so telecommuting work is preferred. If you have a quick contract in Pittsburgh for me (where I'll mostly be from now to April) that would work too. If my resume doesn't demonstrate make it clear, I am not a visual designer ;).

Ged thanks so much! wow. You looked at the Guide lately? pardon my ignorancewhat? a little background: i am a html/dhtml/javascript/flash guy who had a little linux experience. my boss found this out and told me to setup two servers with linux 7.0 and get qmail and ezmlm and going. and then get ezmlm-web.cgi going. i got lucky with the first two, but the last one opened up a whole nasty suid issue. apparently linux doesn't like suid scripts by default without some major tweaking. so i have been tweaking the hell out of httpd to try and get get a workaround. the only way i got it to work was by having httpd run as the same user as the cgi file. but that is half-ass. from what i read i have to compile suexec appropiately. but i am not sure about that either. thanks again, matt 73, Ged.
Apache::Registry, mod_perl interface, and post data
Hello,
I'm writing an Apache::Registry and I can't seem to retrieve POST
information. I usually write handlers rather than Apache::Registry
scripts, so this is a mystery to me. From a sample form:
form method="post" action="post.pl"
input type="hidden" name="hello" value="world"
/form
To this simple Apache::Registry script:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
my $r = Apache-request;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Post = ( ", join(", ", $r-content), " )\n";
Gives me nothing. My second thought was that Apache::Registry was eating
the POST information to feed it to the script via STDIN (for compatibility
with conventional CGI), so I tried this:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI ();
my $cgi = new CGI;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "CGI = ( ",
join(", ", map { ($_, $cgi-param($_)) } $cgi-param), " )\n";
The POSTed information has still gone away! Am I on crack?! This should be
the simplest script ever! Just to check, I ran the above script as a CGI
as the target of the same HTML form and it worked fine.
I'm using Perl 5.6.0, mod_perl 1.24_01, and Apache 1.3.14 on Solaris x86,
CGI.pm 2.56. The client I use doesn't seem to make a difference.
Humbly,
Andrew

[ANNOUNCE] AxKit 1.3
[Duplicate of an email to axkit-users] This release finally puts the pieces of the puzzle in place for being able to build dynamic web sites with AxKit. No longer will I be saying "AxKit is best for static sites". The key piece is major updates to the XSP engine, which allows taglibs to become a workable reality. Taglibs allow you to do things like: except:try mail:send-mail mail:to[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mail:to mail:from[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mail:from mail:subjectAxKit Rocks!/mail:subject mail:body Matt, I just wanted to say that I think AxKit is really cool! Thanks! /mail:body /mail:send-mail except:catch Sending Mail failed: except:message/ /except:catch /except:try Kip Hampton has put a lot of work in with me to make sure we have a good range of taglibs to get you started, so we've got Param, ESQL, Exception, Sendmail and Util to get you started. We'll build more as the need arises. Of course XSP doesn't limit you to taglibs, and to demonstrate that I'll be releasing the Take23 CMS shortly, which is just 4 XSP pages and a module, and some stylesheets. All of the taglibs have been uploaded to CPAN, which will be the prefered location for them. If people think they would be better on axkit.org/download then we'll put them there too. Other updates include: - Much better dependencies checking - XPathScript adds import_template() function and other minor changes - Better shared memory usage when using directives in httpd.conf - All XSP namespaces updated to Apache normalised versions (these are http://apache.org/xsp/module/version although these may well change again shortly) Enjoy, and keep those bug reports coming. If you have any questions about XSP/taglibs please don't hesitate to ask. -- Matt/ /||** Director and CTO ** //||** AxKit.com Ltd ** ** XML Application Serving ** // ||** http://axkit.org ** ** XSLT, XPathScript, XSP ** // \\| // ** Personal Web Site: http://sergeant.org/ ** \\// //\\ // \\

Re: Apache::Registry, mod_perl interface, and post data
Hello, JBI added a button and push it. It works. ;) Urgh, I had a button on my actual test page; it just magically disappeared when I retyped it in the e-mail. FWIW, after debugging it a bit further, I am getting a Content-length of the appropriate size, too. The Content-type is also correct for a POST; I sniffed the packets and the request is correct. Just no input. Nothing on STDIN, either. I'm frankly mystified, wondering if I'm just totally missing something obvious.

I don't think the problem is with what you posted. I tried your snippets on two different systems and they worked as expects. What's your config look like? Do you get the 'Post = ()' output from the Registry script?

I'd really like to try it with Apache's mod_perl and mod_embed, these really didn't work at all with perl-5.6.0, but I'm not sure I'll find the time. [AIX-4.3.2, IBM's C compiler, Apache apxs shared modules] I tried to get mod_perl-1.25 (an Apache/perl module that's supposed to let you use perl to implement script-based apache modules) working with perl-5.6.1-trial2, and failed. I can get mod_perl working with perl-5.5.3, but I never succeeded with perl-5.6.0. With perl-5.6.1-trial2, the mod-perl initialisation is successful, but I get a segmentation fault as soon as I try to access the perl script (test.pl or test.perl).

Re: Apache::ASP, SSL problems ... must be LWP ...
"Demetrios C. Christopher" wrote: Hey guys, thanks for nothing ... this is the second reply to my own email :( Anyway, I contacted the site with which we were having problems and they went through their logs only to discover that the only difference between LWP https calls that were successful and those that failed was the return code!!! Give me your URL that you are contacting, I'll see how it works with my LWP. You might try upgrading the Crypt::SSLeay https LWP library to the latest should you have an old one. The latest Crypt::SSLeay supports SSLv3 and all that. Now think, why would the mode of the server on which the process is running bear an effect on the outcome of the connection miles away? I'm guessing there's a conflict of interest ... Stronghold is tapping the SSL library (I can find out which one if people are interested in helping, ah-hem) and when LWP is trying to form a 128-bit cipher it's getting some junk or errors. Go figure. I feel that this problem might be that the stronghold server was insisting on its 128 bit SSLv3, and LWP might have been going for a SSLv2 or SSLv23 with 56bit, thus a funky 403. error, but only time will tell! It seems to clean an error to be some king of corruption. Ok guys, I did most of the investigation work, anyone out there who has seen this before? Is Joshua out sick or something ;) Like Ged said... --Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc. NodeWorks free web link monitoring Huntington Beach, CA USA http://www.nodeworks.com1-714-625-4051
Re: Apache::Registry, mod_perl interface, and post data
Hello, JBI don't think the problem is with what you posted. I tried your snippets JBon two different systems and they worked as expects. What's your config JBlook like? Do you get the 'Post = ()' output from the Registry script? JBAre you running any other software that might interfere? Thanks for forcing me to check my config and discovering that Someone left .pl's set to a different handler of their own, devious creation in UserDirs (this is a dev box) instead of Apache::Registry. Doh! Mystery solved. Thanks for the jolt.

DECLINED: What's going on?
Hi All, On p. 68 of the eagle book, the explanation of DECLINED says: The handler has decided it doesn't want to handle the request. Apache will act as if the subroutine were never called and either handle the phase internally or pass the request on to another module that has expressed its interest. Even if all registered modules return DECLINED for a particular phase, it will still be handled by the Apache core, which has default handlers for each phase (even if they do nothing). I have an authz handler at the very beginning of which I set return DECLINED; but Apache doesn't seem to kick in its default handler (there is an .htaccess file in the directory concerned). Can anybody shed light on this? Thanks, Jie
Setting remote_user and passwd
Hi, Is it possible to set $r-connection-user and the $sent_pw values. (my($res, $sent_pw) = $r-get_basic_auth_pw ;) My problem is if a user logins with xxx password yyy I want to change their login to password abcd. It works now but the user is confronted with the pop window asking them to login again but can I get pass this stage? Would using cookies by pass this problem? regards Scott _ scott alexander tietoverkkosuunnittelija humak amk - finland +358(0)407505640
