If it didn't do this, you would need to autheticate yourself on every reqeust. Remember, HTTP is *stateless*. There is no conecpt of "logging in" because being logged in would imply state. You may have been tricked in the past into believing there was state involved by such trickery as Basic auth header caching and cookies. -Michel > -- > robert canary > system services > OhioCounty.Net > rwcanary(a)ohiocounty.net > (270)298-9331 Office > (270)298-7449 Fax > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope > > (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, > zope-dev(a)zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) >

Server crashes on Cobalt RaQ
by Doug Goodwin 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Greetings, Here's a problem for you experts. I have installed Zope 1.10.2 on a Cobalt RaQ (Python 1.5.2). Everything seems to run fine until I get a very persistent error that shuts down the server.

Win32 port of Zope 2.00a1
by Anthony Pfrunder 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Hi, I've been playing with Zope2.00a1 on both Linux and Win32. I have noticed that it is considerably harder to get it working on Win95/NT. To assist those ppl who want to try it out on Windows I have created an MS VC6.0 workspace + project file for it. By compiling under "Win32 Release" mode MS C will create a zope.exe with all the Zope extensions built-in to it. To compile this you will need the Python-1.5.2 source to generate the python15.lib and python15.dll. As I don't have externally accessable web space if you want a copy please email me @ s341625 at student dot uq dot edu dot au. I am planning to create a python script to automatically convert from unix Zope extensions and another to install it under windows. I'd be happy to create win32 binaries for the Zope project. Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder PS Please excuse any cludgyness in my implementation of the project files as it is my first attempt at extension creation on Win32 :) BTW what is the difference between cPersistence in BoboPOS and the one in Zodb apart from the fact that only the BoboPOS one can be imported? They need to be patched to return cPersistence on load error instead of cDocumentTemplate (plus a few others that I've forgotten this freezing arvo;)

Re: [Zope] Ahaaaa! Success Startup Authentication !!

Seems part of the problem may come from your rewrite rules, you have RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/Zope/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] but surely this should be: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] Since the mapping goes from a url of http://your-server/Zope/manage to http://your-server/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi Seems like you've been trying to remap something to itself? You might also want to try a later version of Zope as 1.09 is pretty outdated. Another note about using Zope with Apache, different versions of Apache might need different RewriteRule's, since your using 1.3.6 you might try: RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] This seems to work better with 1.3.6. You also need to turn ExecCGI in the Directory statement for the dir with Zope.cgi in (as you have done), later versions of Apache don't do this even for it's own cgi-bin dir by default. Anyway try my 'fixed' rewriterule and tell me if you have any problems as I'm in the process of rewriting the WEBSERVER.txt file and would appreciate any reports of trouble with the above rule.

Ahaaaa! Success Startup Authentication !!
by Robert W. Canary 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Okay, I think I know what is causing the trouble. I found one thing that did not quit work the way the zope docs said. You should be able to *not* include the domain name in the access file (eq superuser:123) I finally got to the point (agian) where I kept getting the failed authorization. Except this time when I clicked cancel I did not get the message that there was no Authorization header found. Instead it said the username and password supplied were incorrect. So I went back into the /var/local/Zope/access file and changed it to rwcanary:xxxxx:*.ohiocounty.net and it WORKED! Now how did I get to that point? First everything belongs to owner and group nobody. With wide open rwx (I'll tighten the security tommorow). Also it seems that Zope must have its own directory. I moved the Zope.cgi to "/home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi" I haven't seen any reference to this in the docs, please correct me if I wrong. The Apache is configured as follows: /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf......... <Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope> Options ExecCGI </Directory> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf............ RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/Zope/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf........... ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/Zope/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/ This is Apache-modperl-1.3.6 and Zope-1.09 For the record and archives I am pasting what a succesfull rewrite log should look like: (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage (3) applying pattern '^/cgi-bin/Zope/(.*)' to uri '/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage' (4) RewriteCond: input='Basic c3VwZXJ1c2VyOjEyMw==' pattern='^(.*)' => matched (2) rewrite /cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage -> /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage (5) setting env variable 'HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION' to 'Basic c3VwZXJ1c2VyOjEyMw==' (2) remember /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage to have MIME-type 'application/x-httpd-cgi' (2) local path result: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage (1) go-ahead with /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi/manage [OK] (1) force filename /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope/Zope.cgi to have MIME-type 'application/x-httpd-cgi' (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /manage (3) applying pattern '^/cgi-bin/Zope/(.*)' to uri '/manage' (1) pass through /manage I have one question? After I log onto the "/Zope.cgi/manage" I can exit and then go backto /Zope/Zope.cgi/manage it goes directly to it. It does not ask me for a username and password anymore.

RE: [Zope] encoding strings for CGI
by Alexander Staubo 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

There's no reason for Zope not to URL encode slashes (in my experience URL encoders usually encode everything but a-zA-Z0-9; has URL encoding ever been standarized, anyway?), although I'm not sure if this omission causes trouble for browsers.

RE: [Zope] Netscape wants to download an index_html doc
by Alexander Staubo 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

It should not happen unless the Content-Type header is not written by Zope. If a header-less document is returned, my experience is that Netscape will not, like IE, assume that it is a HTML document. You can use a network monitor or a telnet client to check what Zope is returning. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "What the hell, he thought, you're only young once, and threw himself out of the window.

easy way to return HTML
