Hello, when I read that WWWOFFLE 2.7 is now available, I was glad to finally get rid of the Purge-bug that had required regular manual intervention.
But unfortunately, it seems another -at least for me much worse- bug has crept in. The symptom I first noticed were frequent "Document contains no data"-popups in Netscape and lots of "broken picture" images. I played around with the options in wwwoffle.conf [1], but to no avail. I finally found what I believe to be the problem when I tried talking to the proxy with Telnet while it was online: === GET http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/index.html HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.0 304 WWWOFFLE Not Modified Server: WWWOFFLE/2.7 Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 21:00:55 GMT Content-type: text/html Content-Length: 0 Connection: close Proxy-Connection: close === Now, I don't claim to know a lot about http, but I don't think that a 304 should be a valid reply to a request without an "If-modified-since" header, or is it? I'm not sure what technical details are relevant here, the OS is Linux 2.0.36, libc5, the gcc is an ancient 2.7.2.1 and WWWOFFLE was compiled with zlib and without IPv6 [2]. Oh, and the requested page did exist in the WWWOFFLE cache, of course. [1] BTW, IMVHO the new web pages for editing that are unusable. It takes far too many clicks to get to and change the setting I want. I found the old page far easier to use. [2] I had to comment out some lines related to IPv6 in the configure script, because otherwise it complained that I had specified IPv6- support but getaddr<orsomething>() is not supported, even when I explicitly used --without-ipv6. Now, did I break or fix something by doing that? -- |_|\ Fido: 2:244/1512 | |/ PGP: 2047/962CC1B5 1996/04/05 GCS d- s:+>:- a- C++(+++) US P+ L+ E- W++(-) N++(*) K-- w-- O++ M- V?
