18 Feb 2008, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, mhttpd safari 3.0.4 redirect problem

I now encountered a new problem with mhttpd - I connect using the Safari 3.0.4 browser, go to the
"Programs" page, press the button "Start feplc" (or any other "start" button) and instead of starting this
program, I get an error in the browser, funny entries in ODB in "/Programs", corrupted ODB and a spew

18 Feb 2008, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, potential memory corruption in odb,c:extract_key()
|
It looks like ODB function extract_key() will overwrite the array pointed to by "key_name" if given an odb
path with very long names (as seems to happen when redirection explodes in the Safari web browser, via
db_get_value(TRUE) via mhttpd "start program" button). All callers of this function seem to provide 256

27 Feb 2008, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, mhttpd: cannot attach history to elog
|
From "history" pages, the "create elog" button stopped working - it takes us to the elog entry form, but
then, the "submit" button does not create any elog entries, instead dumps us into an invalid history
display. This is using the internal elog.
