[misterhouse-users] RE: Version 2.75

[Bruce W. <br...@mi...>]

Thomas,

You found a bug I introduced in the 2.75 release.  I had made a change to
encode the length of the html into the http header, but messed up.
Apparently most browsers do ok with a shorter length, but not all.  I was ok
with IE 6, NS 6, NS 4.7, and mozilla, but I finally found that the KDE
browser showed the same thing you saw with NS 7:

The fix is to change this in mh/lib/http_server.pl, about line 1349:

                   # Not sure how important length is, but pretty cheap and
easy to do
    my $length = length $body;

to this:

                   # Not sure how important length is, but pretty cheap and
easy to do
    my $length = length $html;

Bruce,

        By the way, I LOVE this software!! I have been running version 2.66
for quite a while
and decided to upgrade to version 2.75. The only problem I am having is
logging in (from work).
I noticed the same problem if I attempt to log into your site, The password
field is not
being displayed:

(I am at work connecting through a proxy server!) When I use Netscape on my
server that is running
version 2.75 is works fine??

Here is an attempt to log into your server, notice the field to enter the
password is
not being send back (I have the same problem when trying to log into my
server):



Here is the code being returned to my Browser (Netscape 7 or IE 5.5).
