Ok, I have been prototyping a new website on a non-standard port, to keep the current one functional. Now that the new site is ready, and I switch it to port 80, I have a problem. I can acess the site just fine. However, when I try to go to the manage screen, it loops on contacting the server (from netscape). The logs fill up with:
anderson - - [05/Apr/1999 16:58:29] "GET /manage_main HTTP/1.0" 401 -
and
anderson - - [05/Apr/1999 16:58:23] "GET /manage_menu HTTP/1.0" 401 -
and
anderson - - [05/Apr/1999 16:58:23] "GET /manage HTTP/1.0" 401 -
Running the current download, without apache/pcgi.
Woah. That's cool. Never heard of this before, so I have some questions? What version of Zope? When you say without apache do you mean ZopeHTTPServer or ZServer? Have you tried it from a different browser? Does Netscape hang while the server loops or does the browser loop with it (meaning can you see it doing this or is Netscape just looking dumb). It's hard for me to believe that this is a server isolated problem, there must be some kind of browser interaction involved here. -Michel
Any ideas? If I switch back to 8080, it works fine.

Latest Download.

ZopeHTTPServer. I guess I am waiting for Python 1.5.2 and WebDAV before running Zserver ;-)
Have you tried it from a different browser?
Funny thing ... installed vmware to run windows on for the purpose of cross-browser issues and forgot all about it!
Does Netscape hang while the server loops or does the browser loop with it (meaning can you see it doing this or is Netscape just looking dumb).
Netscape's status bar kept flashing 'contacting host' 'downloading data' 'done' ... repeat.

Well, I had cleared the cache, memory and disk, just to be sure. No effect. After exiting the browser for a bit, it seems to have resolved itsself. Apparently the infamous netscape secret cache had struck. it appears to me that The server was asking for authentication, and the browser was returning something the server was unhappy anout, so it challenged the browser again ... and again. Which reminds me ... it would be nice if I could set some sort of time limit on authorizations, or a way to log out of the management screens. Quite annoying to have to kill the browser to log in as another user (for verification, etc.), or to make sure no-one else is able to get in. Is there somewhere this can be done that I am missing? -- Bill Anderson Linux Administrator MCS-Boise (ARC) banderson@boi.hp.com My opinions are just that; _my_ opinions.

I often get this same bug on other web servers. The bug was introduced in Netscape 4.5 and later. Mostly it happens when reauthenticating on the same server (but not always, and it's not always reproducible either) For my application I just defined a second DNS entry for the server and use different IP names for different users! (yeah, I know ...) Cheers, Martin
I start normally a second netscape with the commandline option -no-session-managment , this is then my anonymous user. Thanks for the virtual screens of modern windowmanagers :-) __Janko Bill Anderson writes:

Thanks for the tip. I am wondering if runnang a second instance of ntscape will work. It woudl be unable to play with the cache, etc., so it *might* work. must go play ... Personally, I always have at least three browser windows open, one for editing/management, one for viewing, and one for documentation ;-) -- Bill Anderson Linux Administrator MCS-Boise (ARC) banderson@boi.hp.com My opinions are just that; _my_ opinions.

The other approach is to create a new local user (assuming unix, of course) and run netscape under that user. The only trick then is to make sure your xauth is set up correctly... Anthony
