Re: [OT] New Micro$oft vulnerability?

2001-09-21 Thread Tim Peoples


I was able to change all the PerlSetEnv directives to SetEnv and all
seems to be well.  There was really no need to set the values so early
anyway (since they're only being referenced during content generation).

Thanx,
Tim.

Hmmm...

I tried doing the s/OK/DECLINED/ thing and it didn't do the trick.  :-(

I forgot to mention that this is in combination with HTML::Mason,
but I doubt that should have any effect.

2001-09-20 Thread Tim Peoples


This 'Apache::Vermicide' module, installed as a 'PerlPostReadRequestHandler',
seems to be preventing any 'PerlSetEnv' directives from being parsed out
of a '.htaccess' file (or equivalent).  IOW, the ENV vars aren't getting
set properly.

I'm investigating how to remedy this issue.

Yet, strangely, *this* thread seems to have threaded nicely (at least
in 'mutt').

You may also find that the use of bind variables become more and more
effecient when used in complex, multi-table joins.
