I stumbled on this page today: www.desktoplinux.com
A pretty nice-looking portal. I can't find any mention of what they're running, but something about it said "zope" to me...
Nope.
I'm having doubts too... but I don't agree with all your arguments:
Three immedeate giveaways: 1. They are using index.html files. Never seen a Zope site doing that. It would be majorly weird.
Could be just a URL-rewriting scheme on a proxy server, for the purpose of familiar-looking URLs.
2. The polls are made via /cgi-bin/ .
Mix-n-match... they've got an apache front end, it's not hard to combine zope with cgi-bin stuff that way.
3. Type /manage and see what happens... :-)
Could be just hidden by proxy server. Redirect to a non-existent page.
Chop off .html, and replace it with /index_html: http://www.desktoplinux.com/products/index/index_html http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT9545254683/index_html
No matter what, you get the same thing as if you went to: http://www.desktoplinux.com/index_html
Yeah, but index_html is the default, so then you would get the same with /products/index_html as you would with /products/, not just /.
Damn, you're right. OK, now I'm convinced. :) And I think figured out what's really going on with their site: I just discovered that all of the following are equivalent: http://www.desktoplinux.com/index.html http://www.desktoplinux.com/index_html http://www.desktoplinux.com/indexBhtml http://www.desktoplinux.com/biosadboisoiadbj/index_html http://www.desktoplinux.com/index_htmlaaaaaaaaab1adbasasbasdbwebaan23han.foo Looks like there is some kind of URL rewriting going on, and I'm betting it's using a very loose regular expression, like "/index.html". Try that with python's re.search().... it'll match all of the above. They forgot to escape the dot and to specify that "html" comes at the end. -- paul winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com music: http://www.reacharms.com calendars: http://www.calendargalaxy.com
