All of my "real" sites are still running under Principia. Recently a number users of these sites have had their machines upgraded. Those now using the latest versions of IE and Netscape are unable to access the sites now unless they turn off cookies, or they get an error in cgi_module_publish to do with parsing cookies. (I'm still trying to get someone to send me the actual error text).
Anyone out there using Principia still? Have you seen this? Anyone using Zope seen this?
Yes, I've seen it in Principia and Bobo for cookies in the form: .com.au TRUE / FALSE 933422008 MC1 GUID=083F5B8E21DE11D28B2C08002BB74F3F The two problems being that cookies are usually only seen by the domain that registers them, but some badly configured servers (most probably Microsoft servers by the look of the cookies) only list the last two parts of the domain name. This is fine for blah.com, but for overseas domains like blah.com.au it means the cookie is returned for ALL .com.au sites. This wouldn't be a problem, but since the cookies are returned to Principia in the form: MC1=GUID=083F5B8E21DE11D28B2C08002BB74F3F parse_cookie breaks since it looks for key value pairs WITHOUT an equals sign on either side. The extra = really confuses it. To fix it change the re in parse_cookies in cgi_module_publisher.py from: parmre=regex.compile( '\([\0- ]*' '\([^\0- ;,=\"]+\)=\([^\0;-=\"]*\)' '\([\0- ]*[;,]\)?[\0- ]*\)' ), to: parmre=regex.compile( '\([\0- ]*' '\([^\0- ;,=\"]+\)=\([^\0;-\"]*\)' '\([\0- ]*[;,]\)?[\0- ]*\)' ), -- Evan ~ThunderFoot~ Gibson ~ nihil mutatem, omni deletum ~ May the machines watch over you with loving grace.
