texte = We just got an unconfirmed report that WebSTAR has trouble with virtual domains (folders) which contain periods in them -- two folders with the same beginning, like www.fred.com and www.fred.net get a little confused at that period. Perhaps it's some internal grep thing where period is matched as *any* character.Anyway, the weird symptom in this case was that WebCatalog would try to send out [protect] authentication MIME headers for error 404, but for some reason WebSTAR was interfering and *not* passing those out, so the effect was that you could get into admin pages without ever entering a password (or even being challenged).Solution: remove the periods from the virtual root folder names.-- Technical Support **********************************Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog)16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | -------------------------San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site DevelopmentWebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
