[Refdb-users] problem updating reference with web interface

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi,

thanks for investigating this. This might actually be the same problem
that Thomas reported on this list a few days ago. I haven't done any
testing of the web interface on Windows myself, so I have to admit
that I was entirely unaware of this problem. I'll try to find out how
OSX browsers deal with the line endings and check in an appropriate
fix.

regards,
Markus
