Zope 2.6 cut - copy - paste fails
Hi, I just installed Zope 2.6 on Redhat Linux 6.2, and cut, copy, paste fails completely in the Zope IDE. I have looked at the security tab, and permissions are setup as per a default install, with everything aquiring permissions from the root folder. Nothing has been changed from default install permissions. Next, I did try to set copy and move permissions for the Manager role, something I've enever had to do before, but with no effect. Cut, copy, and paste still does not work. Cookies are on in my Mozilla and IE browser. I've never seen this problem on any other version install. What could be going on? Thanks.

.... Cookies are on in my Mozilla and IE browser. Sad...
Do you contact Zope directly or via Apache? Apache 3.23/24 had problems in delivering cookies reliably. If the error persists, use a TCPLogger (e.g. Shane's "TCPWatch") to analyse the communication between browser and server. Dieter

Ugh, yet another huge problem :o) I experience the failure when served behind Apache (using rewrite rules and Site Root object). I believe I am using Apache 1.3.23. What should I be looking for when using TCPWatch, i.e should I see cookies being passed? Solutions anyone? Upgrade Apache? Use the enhanced VirtualHostMonster instead of SiteRoot?

I think that you can't copy/cut from one SiteRoot and paste in another one... At least, that's something I can't do... Thierry

At least, that's something I can't do... According to the cookie specification, a cookie is usually not delivered to a different domain.
With some restrictions, this can be changed with the "domain" parameter in the cookie definition. But, almost surely, Zope's cut/copy/paste support does not do this. Therefore, you cannot copy/cut across different domains. Dieter
Yes, I can confirm that-- copy and paste works within the SiteRooted domain, but not between domains, which is what I needed to do. If I understand correctly, Zope cut, copy, and paste is cookie based, a cookie cannot be passed across a domian boundary, i.e. the SiteRoot, and this fails. Now that I understand, it is a problem I can live with. Would this be true if using VirtualHostMonster as well?

And it's easy to fix. Log in to the server root directly instead of going via the virtual hosts. To be able to do that you need either to temporarily disable the SiteRoots or replace them with a VHM.

Upgrade Apache to solve the rather serious cookies bug ;-) cheers, Chris

Upgrade Apache to at least 1.3.25. Dieter
