Mananged to dodge the problem by upgrading to a slightly newer version of the product that changes the naming scheme of the files to one that doesn't include and URL-illegal characters. But neat trick with the python script... Hadn't thought of that, but I'll remember it in case I ever run into a similar problem... > > Dieter -- Geoffrey L.

Everything works well, but when I delete a login from the database or change the password from user, this modifications has effect just after restating the Zope. Someone has any idea why this happens? Thanks Marcos

Zope-Video was: 2.3.0 really not Beta?

OK, it is on http://www.goeldi.com/video The unzipped video is in AVI format. It is only about the /manage and the clicking on "change" and on "view". Not more. As I mentioned, it is done for dummy managers who think Content Management is only possible with GoLive or frontp~1.age It is in German. And there is - of course - promotion for my service. But you wanted it ...

>LocalFS is one we are picking on, but a good example of a rock solid cool >product that dies on Zope 2.3. Multiply this with many products and people >assume Zope 2.3 has problems. One solution would be to introduce a section with every product called "tested on 2.1.6, 2.2.0, 2.2.2" etc. I missed this e.g. for some other Products too, which were compatible with Zope 2.1.6 but not with 2.2.x. There was no comment about this on the Product site. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

The HTTP/1.1 specification is unfortunately very vague with respect to what should be done with the request parameters. Thus, browsers have some freedom what they do about them. I am unsure what behaviour I would favour: If I have a GET method, I would usually not like the browser to append the old request parameters. For, if I would like them available, I can easily add the QUERY_STRING myself. However, if I have a POST method, I cannot provide the request body in the redirect. It would be natural when the browser would send the original request body just to the new location. I think, the second behaviour is more in line with the notion of redirection: send the same request to a different URL. However, my browser (Netscape 4) implements the first behaviour. > Not what I need.

Why are you unhappy about the parameters. Usually, they do not hurt. Dieter
