I guess this might be related to the changes in the last elog conversation; but
I'll break it out as a separate problem.

21 Jun 2017, Thomas Lindner, Bug Report, mhttpd ODB editor changes string length, breaks

To follow up; with some help from Konstantin and Stefan, we realized that this
particular problem should already be fixed. While I was using the most recent version
of MIDAS, I hadn't rebuild the EPICS frontend programs when I was doing this test. Once

28 Feb 2018, Thomas Lindner, Bug Report, Problems with start program button with new mhttpd webpages
|
Pierre Gorel identified a problem with the 'start program' button on the new version of MIDAS that uses the
mjsonrpc functions for building the webpages. In particular, he tracked the problem down to some
questionable std::string / char* handling.

Hearing no objections I changed the name of the program to msequencer. Wiki

I wanted to try to summarize the current situation with regards to the handling of strings through the MIDAS web interface.
During the last year, we started the switch-over to using the new mjson-rpc functions in the MIDAS webpages. As part of this work, changes were made that |
